Quote

In the past I have been a cloud, a river, and the air. I was a rock. I was the minerals in the water. This is not a question of belief in reincarnation. This is the history of life on Earth.

We should bow deeply before the orchid and the snail and join our palms reverently before the monarch butterfly and the magnolia tree. The feeling of respect for all species will help us recognize the noblest nature in ourselves.

Mắt Thương con nhìn đời, Bình yên sẽ có mặt.

Này con, có một thứ hành trang giúp con thanh thản đi qua những ngày giông bão của kiếp người. Đó là từ tâm.

Không phải khi con không nghe, không thấy. không nhìn là có thể bình yên. Bình yên chỉ thực sự có mặt khi con nhìn cuộc đời đầy biến động và vô thường với đôi mắt thương biết nghe những câu chuyện thị phi với tấm lòng rộng mở không thành kiến không phán xét và biết nói với nhau những lời ái ngữ nhẹ nhàng.

Thiền sư Thích Nhất Hạnh.

---

With eyes of compassion, tranquility is present.

There’s a lifetime belonging that helps you peacefully navigate through this life. It is Compassion.

Tranquility isn’t achieved by turning a deaf ear, a blind eye, or a closed heart. True tranquility comes when you observe life’s ever-changing and impermanent nature with eyes of compassion, listening to the stories of discord with an open heart free from prejudice and judgment, and speaking to each other with gentle words of love.

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

You may be used to thinking of the Earth as only the ground beneath your feet. But the water, the sea, the sky, and everything around us comes from the Earth. Everything outside us and everything inside us comes from the Earth. We often forget that the planet we are living on has given us all the elements that make up our bodies. The water in our flesh, our bones, and all the microscopic cells inside our bodies all come from the Earth and are part of the Earth. The Earth is not just the environment we live in. We are the Earth and we are always carrying her within us.

Thích Nhất Hạnh, Love Letter to the Earth, p. 8-9

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

the water, the air,

mother earth, the stars,

the moon - they are all

there for you. you can teach

yourself to breathe, walk, and sit

in such a may that you

can get connected with

the stars, the trees, the

air, the sunshine.

The feeling that any task is a nuisance will soon disappear if it is done in mindfulness.

“L'unico modo per alleviare le nostre paure ed essere veramente felici è riconoscere la nostra paura e guardare profondamente alla sua origine. Invece di cercare di fuggire dalla nostra paura, possiamo invitarla a salire verso la nostra consapevolezza e guardarla in modo chiaro e profondo.”

— Thích Nhat Hanh

Dearest Thay...

As I embrace and honor the transformation of you in this 2-Year Memorial anniversary with deep reverence, I do find solace in knowing that you’re with us always whenever we live life deeply and mindfully..

Eternally grateful to you and your gifts to the world...🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

“I have a disciple in Vietnam who wants to build a stupa for my ashes when I die. He and others want to include a plaque with the words "Here lies my beloved teacher." I told them not to waste the temple land. "Do not put me in a small pot and put me in there!" I said. "I don't want to continue like that. It would be better to scatter the ashes outside to help the trees to grow."

I suggested that, if they still insist on building a stupa, they have the plaque say, "I am not in here."

But in case people don't get it, they could add a second plaque, "I am not out there either."

If people still don't understand, then you can write on the third and last plaque,

"I may be found in your way of breathing and walking." ❤️

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“… We meet today.

We will meet again tomorrow.

We will meet at the source every moment.

We meet each other in all forms of life.”

I sometimes liken my body to the water being boiled in a kettle that eventually turns to steam. When my body disintegrates, you may say “Thich Nhat Hanh has died." But this is not true. I will never die.

My nature is the nature of the cloud - the nature of no birth and no death. Just as it’s impossible for a cloud to die, it’s impossible for me to die. I enjoy contemplating my continuation body, just as the cloud enjoys watching the rain fall and become the river far below. If you look closely at yourself, you will see how you too are continuing me in some way. If you breathe in and out, and you find peace, happiness, and fulfillment, you know I am always with you, whether my physical body is still alive or not. I am continued in my many friends, students, and monastic disciples. I am continued in the countless people all over the world whom I have never met but who have read my books, listened to one of my talks, or practiced mindfulness with a local community or in one of our practice centers. If you look with the eyes of signlessness, you will be able to see me far beyond this body.

So the shortest answer to the question “What happens when I die?" is that you don’t die. And that is the truth, because when you understand the nature of the person who is dying, and you understand the nature of the act of dying, you will see there is no such thing as death anymore. There is no self who dies. There is only transformation.

- Thich Nhat Hanh, in “The Art of Living".

"Domani, continuerò ad essere. Ma dovrai essere molto attento per vedermi.

Sarò un fiore o una foglia. Sarò in quelle forme e ti manderò un saluto. Se sarai abbastanza consapevole, mi riconoscerai, e potrai sorridermi.

Ne sarò molto felice."

(Thích Nhat Hanh)

We are like sleepwalkers, not knowing what we are doing or where we are heading. Whether we can wake up or not depends on whether we can walk mindfully on our Mother Earth. The future of all life, including our own, depends on our mindful steps.
