Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “We’re all searching for a place where we feel safe and comfortable, a home where we can be truly ourselves. As we become more skilled in mindfulness and lay down the roots of fidelity, we can truly relax with our partner. All the restlessness and searching inside dissipates when we find our true home.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Even if we have time, we don’t come home to ourselves. We try to keep ourselves constantly entertained – watching television, socialising, or using alcohol or drugs – because we don’t want to experience that suffering all over again.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Nourish yourself every day with the wonderful things that life has to offer you. Nourish yourself in the present moment. Walk in the kingdom of God.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Someday, with no effort at all, you will understand. You only have to allow yourself to be there, to touch deeply each thing you encounter, to walk mindfully, and to help others with the whole of your being. This is the practice of non-practice.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Throughout our life we produce energy. We say things and do things, and every thought, every word, and every act carries our signature. What we produce as thoughts, as speech, as action, continues to influence the world, and that is our continuation body. Our actions carry us into the future. We are like stars whose light energy continues to radiate across the cosmos millions of years after they become extinct.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “In the past, we probably did suffer from one thing or another. It may even have felt like a kind of hell. If we remember that suffering, not letting ourselves get carried away by it, we can use it to remind ourselves, “How lucky I am right now. I’m not in that situation. I can be happy.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Consciously choosing what and who you surround yourself with is among the keys to finding more space for joy.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “During the moment one is consulting, resolving, and dealing with whatever arises, a calm heart and self-control are necessary if one is to obtain good results. Anyone can see that. If we are not in control of ourselves but instead let our impatience or anger interfere, then our work is no longer of any value.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “True happiness isn’t found in success, money, fame, or power. True happiness should be found in the here and the now. With that kind of insight you can truly relax.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Being rich is an obstacle to loving. When you are rich, you want to continue to be rich, and so you end up devoting all your time, all your energy, in your daily life to stay rich.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Suppose you want something very much. You think that if you don’t get that something, happiness won’t be possible. You get caught in that idea. But, in reality, there are people who have that thing who are miserable, and there people who don’t have that thing who are perfectly happy.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Precepts in Buddhism and commandments in Judiasm and Christianity are important jewels that we need to study and practice. They provide guidelines that can help us transform our suffering.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “When we pay attention to our breathing, our in-breath and out-breath become peaceful and relaxed. When we walk with attention and we just walk without thinking or being carried away by anything, we already begin to heal.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “In everyone there’s a continuous desire and expectation; deep inside, you still expect something better to happen. That is why you check your email many times a day!”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “If you get angry every day, your seed of anger will grow bigger and bigger, and it will be much more difficult for compassion to grow. Without compassion, it will be difficult to use loving speech.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “We produce ourselves, we product our own future. We have to offer our best thoughts, speech and actions. Mindfulness helps us to know whether we’re producing the right thing for future and helps us remember that what we produce is us, is our continuation.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Zen Master Linji said, “The miracle is not to walk on water or fire. The miracle is to walk on the earth.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “May we find ways to live more simply in order to have more time and energy to change the system of injustice that exists in the world.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “While practicing mindfulness, don’t be dominated by the distinction between good and evil, thus creating a battle within oneself.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “But the path back home is not long. Home is inside us. Going home requires only sitting down and being with yourself, accepting the situation as it is. Yes, it might be a mess in there, but we accept it because we know we have left home for a long time. So now we’re home. With our in-breath and our out-breath, our mindful breathing, we begin to tidy up our homes.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “When we take a moment to sit and breathe before we eat, we can get in touch with the real hunger in our body. We can discover if we’re eating because we’re hungry or if we’re eating because it’s the time to eat and the food is there.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “The wise do not consider the chains and shackles of jail to be the toughest restraints. The chains of attachment are the strongest of the ties that bind.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “We should live every day like people who have just been rescued from the moon.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Hell is in us, like a seed. We need to cultivate the positive within us so we can generate the energy of understanding and compassion and transform hell.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “To live, we must die every instant. We must perish again and again in the storms that make life possible.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “We may think that if we ignore our fears, they’ll go away. But if we bury worries and anxieties in our consciousness, they continue to affect us and bring us more sorrow.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “When a farmer uses a kind of fertilizer that does not have any effect, he has to change the fertilizer. The same is true for us. If, after several months, the practice we are doing has not brought about any transformation and healing, we have to reconsider the situation.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “We will receive the fruits of any act we have done, whether wholesome or unwholesome.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “What you read and write can help you heal, so be thoughtful about what you consume.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Listen Bhikkhus, just as a buffalo boy recognizes each of his own buffaloes, a bhikkhu recognizes each of the essential elements of his own body. Just as a buffalo boy knows the characteristics and tendencies of each buffalo, a bhikkhu knows which actions of body, speech, and mind are worthy and which are not. Just as a buffalo boy scrubs his animals clean, a bhikkhu must cleanse his mind and body of desires, attachments, anger, and aversions.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Flowers decompose, but knowing this does not prevent us from loving flowers. In fact, we are able to love them more because we know how to treasure them while they are still alive. If we learn to look at a flower in a way that impermanence is revealed to us, when it dies, we will not suffer. Impermanence is more than an idea. It is a practice to help us touch reality.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “When you work with your computer for three or four hours, you are totally lost. It’s like eating french fries. You shouldn’t eat french fries all day, and you shouldn’t be on the computer all day.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Suffering has its beneficial aspects. It can be an excellent teacher.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “If one person keeps calm and smiles at a provocation, the whole world will have a better chance for peace.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Ending our consumption of violent images and toxic communication gives us the chance to transform the violence and suffering in us.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “In modern society most of us don’t want to be in touch with ourselves; we want to be in touch with other things like religion, sports, politics, a book – we want to forget ourselves. Anytime we have leisure, we want to invite something else to enter us, opening ourselves to the television and telling the television to come and colonize us.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “We fall back into the past, we jump ahead into the future, and in this we lose our entire lives.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “No view can ever be the truth. It is just from one point; that is why it is called a “point of view.” If we go to another point, we will see things differently and realize that our first view was not entirely right. Buddhism is not a collection of views. It is a practice to help us eliminate wrong views. The quality of our views can always be improved. From the viewpoint of ultimate reality, Right View is the absence of all views.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Ignorance is in each cell of our body and our consciousness. It’s like a drop of ink diffused in a glass of water.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “What we have is enough for us. Once we adopt that style of living, we become a happy person right away.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Do not think the knowledge you presently possess is changeless, absolute truth. Avoid being narrow-minded and bound to present views. Learn and practice nonattachment from views in order to be open to receive others’ viewpoints.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “It is my prayer that nations will no longer send their young people to fight each other, not even in the name of peace. I do not accept the concept of war for peace, nor of a ‘just war,’ in the same way that I cannot accept the concepts of ‘just slavery,,’ ’just hatred, or ’just racism.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Your concept or perception of reality is not reality. When you are caught in your perceptions and ideas, you lose reality.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “You have the right to pursue economic growth, but not at the expense of life.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “To be a friend means to offer happiness. If love doesn’t offer happiness, if it makes the other person cry all the time, then it’s not love; it’s the opposite.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Death is essential to making life possible. Death is transformation. Death is continuation. When we die, something else is born, even if it takes time to reveal itself or for us to be able to recognize it.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Words can travel thousands of miles. May my words create mutual understanding and love. May they be as beautiful as gems, as lovely as flowers.3.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “Compassion doesn’t mean that you have to love that person who’s so difficult. But if you stop and look deeper, you’ll see that person’s difficulties. If you can accept him, then you can love him.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “The notions and ideas we have about happiness can entrap us. We forget that they are just notions and ideas. Our idea of happiness may be the very thing that’s preventing us from being happy. When we’re caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form, we fail to see the opportunities for joy that are right in front of us.”
Thich Nhat Hanh Quote: “A wave has a right to live her life as a wave, but she must also learn to live her life as water because she is not only a wave. She is also water. And water lives without the fear carried by the wave.”
