Thich Nhat Hanh

Human beings are innately loving beings. When we fail to love, it is because an element of ignorance has intruded into our experience, submerging our natural impulse to love.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I am breathing in and liberating my mind. I am breathing out and liberating my mind. One practices like this.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I am committed to cultivating loving speech and deep listening in order to bring joy and happiness to others and relieve others of their suffering.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to support any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life

Thich Nhat Hanh

I am determined to practice deep listening. I am determined to practice loving speech.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I am you and you are me; it is obvious we inter-are.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I bowed my heard, and I knew that we have a lot to learn from the leaf because it was not afraid – it knew that nothing can be born and nothing can die.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I do not watch television. But I’m in touch with the world. If anything really important happens, someone will tell me.

Thich Nhat Hanh

I have lost my smile, but don’t worry. The dandelion has it.
