There are always some people who are ready to embrace a doctrine, a notion, a dogma, and they miss the real teaching.
Nhat HanhIf you realize that the other person is a human being too, and you have exactly the same kind of spiritual path, and then the two can become good practitioners. This appears to be practical for both.
Nhat HanhAt any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.
Nhat HanhI am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to support any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life
Nhat HanhTo be free, first of all, is to be free from wrong views that are the foundation of all kinds of suffering and fear and violence.
Nhat Hanh"The earth is so beautiful. We are beautiful also. We can allow ourselves to walk mindfully, touching the earth, our wonderful mother, with each step. We don't need to wish our friends, 'Peace be with you.' Peace is already with them. We only need to help them cultivate the habit of touching peace in each moment."-
