Thich Nhat Hanh
Thich Nhat Hanh
Peace
Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us.
We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.
Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.
When our beliefs are based on our own direct experience of reality and not on notions offered by others, no one can remove these beliefs from us.
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
