Thich Nhat Hanh

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have them, you are compelled to act.
