The way must be in you; the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive.
Nhat HanhThat is why those who are not capable of being there in the present moment, they don't really live their life - they live like dead people.
Nhat HanhWords and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.
Nhat HanhThere is no birth, there is no death; there is no coming, there is no going; there is no same, there is no different; there is no permanent self, there is no annihilation. We only think there is.
Nhat HanhOur joy, peace and happiness depend very much on our practice of recognizing and transforming habit energies. There are positive habit energies that we have to cultivate, and negative habit energies that we have to recognize, embrace and transform. The energy with which we do these things is mindfulness.
