Thich Nhat Hanh

We try many ways to be awake, but our society still keeps us forgetful. Meditation is to help us remember.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When you ask the question, ‘Who am I?’ – if you have enough time and concentration – you may find some surprising answers.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When you begin to see that your enemy is suffering, that is the beginning of insight.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When you breathe in mindfully, there is a happy reunion between body and mind. This doesn’t take any fancy technique.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When you hold a child in your arms, or hug your mother, or your husband, or your friend, if you breathe in and out three times, your happiness will be multiplied at least tenfold.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When your mind is liberated, your heart floods with compassion.

Thich Nhat Hanh

With mindfulness we can see the poetry and beauty all around us. We can see the miracles of life.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Without suffering, there’s no happiness. So we shouldn’t discriminate against the mud. We have to learn how to embrace and cradle our own suffering and the suffering of the world, with a lot of tenderness.

Thich Nhat Hanh

You are a miracle, and everything you touch could be a miracle.

Thich Nhat Hanh

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.
