With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.
Nhat HanhUsually, people have a tendency to be caught in the worries concerning the future or in the regret concerning the past. There is some kind of energy that is pushing them to run, and they are not able to establish themselves in the present moment.
Nhat HanhWe have to understand in order to be of help. We all have pain, but we tend to suppress it, because we don't want it to come up to our living room. the most important thing is that we need to be understood. We need someone to be able to listen to us and to understand us, then we will suffer less, but everyone is suffering, and no one wants to listen. We don't know how to express ourselves so that people can understand. because we suffer so much, the way we express our pain hurts other people, and they don't want to listen.
Nhat HanhThere are always some people who are ready to embrace a doctrine, a notion, a dogma, and they miss the real teaching.
