More quotes by Nhat Hanh
The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.
Nhat Hanh
Go back to the breathing and try to be in that moment deeply. Because there is a possibility to handle every kind of event and the essential is to keep the peace in yourself.
Nhat Hanh
Loving ourselves means loving our community. When we are capable of loving ourselves, nourishing ourselves properly, not intoxicating ourselves, we are already protecting and nourishing society.
Nhat Hanh
Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.
Nhat Hanh
Machine thinking is the opposite of mindfulness. If we're really engaged in mindfulness when walking along the path to the village, then we will consider the act of each step we take as an infinite wonder, and a joy will open our hearts like a flower, enabling us to enter the world of reality.
Nhat Hanh
When we change our daily lives - the way we think, speak and act - we change the world.
Nhat Hanh
Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.
Nhat Hanh
Buddhism is in your heart. Even if you don't have any temple or any monks, you can still be a Buddhist in your heart and life.
Nhat Hanh
True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There's no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.
Nhat Hanh
Fearlessness is not only possible, it is the ultimate joy. When you touch nonfear, you are free.
Nhat Hanh
In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask why don't I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden and they abandon their values.
Nhat Hanh
When your mind is liberated, your heart floods with compassion.
Nhat Hanh
There's no way I can be tossed around like a bottle slapped here and there on the waves.
Nhat Hanh
It's like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get a relief.
Nhat Hanh
When you love someone, you want to share everything with him or her. So it is your duty to say, I suffer and I want you to know - and he will, she will, appreciate it.
Nhat Hanh
If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?
Nhat Hanh
Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish.
Nhat Hanh
If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love.
Nhat Hanh
The Seven Factors of Awakening are mindfulness, investigation of phenomena, diligence, joy, ease, concentration, and letting go.
Nhat Hanh
If you establish serenity and happiness inside yourself, you provide the world with a solid base of peace. If you do not give yourself peace, how can you share it with others? If you do not begin your peace work with yourself, where will you go to begin it?
