Thich Nhat Hahn

“A teacher cannot give you the truth The truth is already in you You only need to open yourself –body, mind and heart-so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenmentIf you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work”

“If you look deep into the palm of your hand,you will see your Parents and all generations of your Ancestors.All of them are alive in this moment.Each is present in your body.YOU are the continuation of each of these people."~Thich Nhat Hahn~”

“Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”

“The problem that faces us is the problem of awakening. What we lack is not an ideology or doctrine that will save the world. What we lack is mindfulness of what we are, of what our situation really is. We need to wake up in order to rediscover our human sovereignty. We are riding a horse that is running out of control. The way of salvation is a new culture in which human beings are encouraged to rediscover their deepest nature.”
