Text Quotes
We are determined not to take as the aim of our life fame, profit, wealth, or sensual pleasure, nor to accumulate wealth while millions are hungry and dying. We are committed to living simply and sharing our time, energy, and material resources with those who are in need (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
When you have a stomach ache you don’t tell your stomach to go away (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
A bodhisattva is someone who has compassion within himself or herself and who is able to make another person smile or help someone suffer less. Every one of us is capable of this (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena. To see one in all and all in one is to break through the great barrier which narrows one’s perception of reality (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Hatred and fear blind us. We no longer see each other. We see only the faces of monsters, and that gives us the courage to destroy each other (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
To educate people for peace, we can use words or we can speak with our lives (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Wisdom and joy arise when you learn to exist now rather than in the nonexistent past or future (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
The joy of life is born of concentration. When you are having a cup of tea, the value of that experience depends on your concentration. You have to drink the tea with 100 percent of your concentration (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Artists have to show us what is not going well within the person and within the society, not try to cover it up (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Recognize that it is not really possible to steadily help others when we ourselves are not in good physical, mental, or emotional state. We may be able to carry on for a while, but sooner or later we end up feeling depleted, discouraged, or weak. We cannot keep on giving when we are running on an empty tank. We need to be solid (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Your journey to a healthier weight is not a journey that you start and then give up. It is a journey that you are living every day for the rest of your life (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
When we smile, the muscles around our mouth are stretched and relaxed, just like doing yoga. Smiling is mouth yoga. We release the tension from our face as we smile. Others who run into us notice it, even strangers, and are likely to smile back. It is a wonderful chain reaction that we can initiate, touching the joy in anyone we encounter. Smiling is an ambassador of goodwill (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Sometimes we believe that happiness is not possible in the here and now, that we need a few more conditions to be happy. So we run toward the future to get the conditions we think are missing. But by doing so we sacrifice the present moment; we sacrifice true life (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
When practiced to its fullest, mindful eating turns a simple meal into a spiritual experience, giving us a deep appreciation of all that went into the meal’s creation as well a deep understanding of the relationship between the food on our table, our own health, and our planet’s health (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Our mind is the foundation of all our actions, whether they are actions of body, speech, or mind, i.e., thinking. Whatever we think, say, or do arises from our mind. What our consciousness consumes becomes the substance of our life, so we have to be very careful which nutriments we ingest (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
We must look deeply into the nature of our volition to see whether it is pushing us in the direction of liberation from suffering and toward peace and compassion, or in the direction of affliction and misery. What is it that we really want deep in our heart? Is it money, fame, power? Or is it finding inner peace, being able to live life fully and enjoy the present moment? (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
When you suffer, you can look deeply at your situation and find the many blessings that are already surrounding you. It is wonderful to sit with a pen and paper and write down all the conditions for happiness that are already there, already available to you right in this moment (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death of all that is alive (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Without being peace, we cannot do anything for peace. If we cannot smile, we cannot help other people to smile. If we are not peaceful, then we cannot contribute to the peace movement (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Maybe we have enough technology to save the planet but it is not enough because the people are not ready (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Without collective awakening the catastrophe will come. I think people in the mass media, journalists, film makers and others, you can contribute to the collective awakening if you are awake and then your life will embody that awakening (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Whenever anger comes up, take out a mirror and look at yourself. When you are angry, you are not very beautiful (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
If you do not give right attention to the one you love, it is a kind of killing. When you are in the car together, if you are lost in your thoughts, assuming you already know everything about her, she will slowly die (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
People kill and are killed because they cling too tightly to their own beliefs and ideologies. When we believe that ours is the only faith that contains the truth, violence and suffering will surely be the result (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
There are some people who eat an orange but don’t really eat it. They eat their sorrow, fear, anger, past, and future (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
The desire to be a free person is very worthwhile. To be free means you are no longer the victim of fear, anger, craving, or suspicion (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
Breathe in and take one step, and focus all your attention on the sole of your foot. If you have not arrived fully, one hundred percent in the here and the now, don’t take the next step (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
The only way to ease our fear and be truly happy is to acknowledge our fear and look deeply at its source. Instead of trying to escape from our fear, we can invite it up to our awareness and look at it clearly and deeply (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
When we hug, our hearts connect and we know that we are not separate beings. Hugging with mindfulness and concentration can bring reconciliation, healing, understanding, and much happiness (Nhat Hanh Quotes)
