To be alive is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water, but to walk on the Earth.
Thich Nhat Hanh
The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.
There is no way to happiness—happiness is the way.
Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body.
Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion—towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
The roots of love and of suffering are within us, and we can learn to water the seeds of love every moment, to transform suffering into compassion.
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.
If you let go a little, you will have a little happiness. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of happiness. If you let go completely, you will be free.
To be truly happy, we must be content with what we have, and not constantly seek more.
Life is like a river flowing. If you jump into the river and try to control which way it flows, you will suffer. Instead, allow the river to flow naturally and trust in the wisdom of life.
If you are able to walk in mindfulness, every step will bring you peace and joy.
The energy of mindfulness helps us recognize that our suffering is not separate from the suffering of others. With this insight, compassion is born within us.
When we understand, we are at the same time understood.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile.
To be alive is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.
Our own life has to be our message.
