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 HanhToday, you can decide to walk in freedom. You can choose to walk differently. You can walk as a free person, enjoying every step.
Nhat HanhWe need to be aware of the suffering, but retain our clarity, calmness and strength so we can help transform the situation.
Nhat HanhEvery day we touch what is wrong, and, as a result, we are becoming less and less healthy. That is why we have to learn to practice touching what is not wrongโinside us and around us. When we get in touch with our eyes, our heart, our liver, our breathing, and our non-toothache and really enjoy them, we see that the conditions for peace and happiness are already present.
