Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.
Nhat HanhA real love letter is made of insight, understanding, and compassion. Otherwise it's not a love letter. A true love letter can produce a transformation in the other person, and therefore in the world. But before it produces a transformation in the other person, it has to produce a transformation within us. Some letters may take the whole of our lifetime to write.
Nhat HanhBe mindful 24 hours a day, not just during the one hour you may allot for formal meditation or reading scripture and reciting prayers. Each act must be carried out in mindfulness.
Nhat HanhWhen we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.
