The heart of the matter is always our oneness with divine spirit, our union with all life.
Nhat HanhThe most important thing that we can do for the healing of our world is to hear inside ourselves, the sounds of the earth crying.
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 HanhWe have to understand in order to be of help. We all have pain, but we tend to suppress it, because we don't want it to come up to our living room. the most important thing is that we need to be understood. We need someone to be able to listen to us and to understand us, then we will suffer less, but everyone is suffering, and no one wants to listen. We don't know how to express ourselves so that people can understand. because we suffer so much, the way we express our pain hurts other people, and they don't want to listen.
