Breathe in and take one step, and focus all your attention on the sole of your foot. If you have not arrived fully, one hundred percent in the here and the now, don't take the next step.
Nhat HanhIf you suffer and make your loved ones suffer, there is nothing that can justify your desire.
Nhat HanhTrue love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.
Nhat HanhIf you have a friend who suffers, you have to help him.ยซMy dear friend, you are on safe ground. Everything is okay now. Why do you continue to suffer? Don't go back to the past. It's only a ghost; it's unrealยป. And whenever we recognize that these are only movies and pictures, not reality, we are free. That is the practice of mindfulness.
Nhat Hanh
