Mindfulness is like thatโit is the miracle which can call back in a flash our dispersed mind and restore it to wholeness so that we can live each minute of life.
Nhat HanhIt is possible to live twenty-four hours a day in a state of love. Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love.
Nhat HanhThe present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. (21)
Nhat HanhPreventing war is much better than protesting against the war. Protesting the war is too late.
Nhat HanhLeaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. Yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. The leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. In this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. We are all children of society, but we are also mothers. We have to nourish society. If we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.
