Thich Nhat Hanh

Be like the earth. When the rain comes, the earth simply opens up to the rain and soaks it all in.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Be mindful 24 hours a day, not just during the one hour you may allot for formal meditation or reading scripture and reciting prayers. Each act must be carried out in mindfulness.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Because if the manifestations that happen in the present moment are beautiful and good, their continuation in the future will be also good and beautiful.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Being rich is an obstacle to loving. When you are rich, you want to continue to be rich, and so you end up devoting all your time, all your energy, in your daily life to stay rich.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Breath is aligned with both body and mind and it alone can bring them together.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Breathing in, I am aware of my heart. Breathing out, I smile to my heart and know that my heart still functions normally. I feel grateful for my heart.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Breathing in, there is only the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
