May our heart’s garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.
Quotations
Thich Nhat Hanh
If you look deeply 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.
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
At any moment you have a choice that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.
