Thich Nhat Hanh

Everything inside and around us wants to reflect itself in us. We don't have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the still water of our heart. 
-Thich Nhat Hanh


Breathing in, I calm body and mind. 
Breathing out, I smile. 
Dwelling in the present moment 
I know this is the only moment.
- Thich Nhat Hanh


When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. You're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. You are not real, and the coffee is not real either. Your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. When you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. This is genuine tea drinking.
-Thich Nhat Hanh

My path is the path of stopping, the path of enjoying the present moment. It is a path where every step brings me back to my true home. It is a path that leads nowhere. I am on my way home. I arrive at every step. 
-Thich Nhat Hanh

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world. The world needs our happiness.
-Thich Nhat Hanh


At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
