The problem that faces us is the problem of awakening. What we lack is not an ideology or doctrine that will save the world. What we lack is mindfulness of what we are, of what our situation really is. We need to wake up in order to rediscover our human sovereignty. We are riding a horse that is running out of control. The way of salvation is a new culture in which human beings are encouraged to rediscover their deepest nature.
Nhat HanhAwareness is a mirror reflecting the four elements. Beauty is a heart that generates love and a mind that is open.
Nhat HanhI know that we do not know enough. We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.
Nhat HanhWhen you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
