Thich Nhat Hanh

Buddhism has to do with your daily life, with your suffering and with the suffering of the people around you.

Thich Nhat Hanh

By taking a look at your anger it can be transformed into the kind of energy that you need – understanding and compassion.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Compassion is a mind that removes the suffering that is present in the other.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Compassion is born from understanding suffering. We all should learn to embrace our own suffering, to listen to it deeply, and to have a deep look into its nature.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Do not live with a vocation that is harmful to humans and nature. Do not invest in companies that deprive others of their chance to live. Select a vocation that helps realise your ideal of compassion.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Don’t run away from things that are unpleasant in order to embrace things that are pleasant. Put your hands in the earth. Face the difficulties and grow new happiness.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Don’t think you have to be solemn to meditate. To meditate, well, you have to smile a lot.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Each moment you are alive is a gem. It needs you to breathe gently for the miracles to be displayed.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Each thought, each action in the sunlight of awareness becomes sacred.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Every day we are engaged in a miracle that we don’t even recognize.
