September 12, 2026Pain Teaches Us a Lot by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh
“But the flaw of the system is that they have not seen the connection between suffering and happiness, or how the mud and the lotus are intervened. They have not seen the value of suffering. In the teaching of the Buddha, we know that suffering is a kind of mud that can bring about lotus flowers, and that suffering can instruct us a lot.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

September 11, 2026Expressing Anger Is not the Answer by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh
“And for me, I know I have very strong seeds of attainment, a very strong tendency to go towards attainment rather than aimlessness and, and just being dwelling in the present moment. And I know that being here for a while now, dwelling in the present moment has been my practice and letting go of, of questions and entertainment. And that's been really wonderful. But on the other hand, I do want to develop concentration and, and especially being a layperson and being out in the world where I find it so difficult to practice mindfulness.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

September 10, 2026Remind Yourself of the Right Diligence by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh
“Suppose you have a good cup of tea. Suppose you are contemplating a beautiful sunrise and suppose you are mindful and concentrated. When you are mindful, when you are concentrated, you are truly there and you concentrate on your tea. Your tea becomes something very real and the time of tea drinking make you so happy because you are not disturbed. Your mind is not in the past or in the future. Your mind is not in your projects. Your mind is focused entirely on the tea. That's concentration. Tea is the object of your concentration. That's why bringing tea in that moment can make you very happy. And the more you are concentrated, the happier you become. And that is why concentration is on, so a source of happiness.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

September 10, 2026What We Need Is Insight by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh
“No self is a kind of teaching practice in order to help you to overcome the view of self. It's very self so that you can see you in the other person and the other person in you. But many of us take it as a view. So instead of being caught in the view of self, you are caught in the view of no self. And that's what the Buddha did not like. So you have to be free from the view of self, but you have to be free from the view of no self.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

September 08, 2026What Is the Right View by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh
“The memories of the past are not real, not reality. They are only pictures and every time you watch the picture, you suffer. And that is why we are advised not to go back to the past and live in the past, get caught in the past. And that is part that's part of the practice of living in the present moment. Mindfulness is to learn to live in present moment, not to allow ourselves to sleep back to the past in order to relive the past one time, two, three times.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

September 06, 2026Why I Have to Follow the Measure I Set by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh
“It's like in Plum Village, the monks, the nuns and the lay people are advised that they, when they go to the Internet, they have to be occupanied by a second person. Not only when they go to the marketplace or to the pharmacy, to the post office, they have to go with another person. We call it the second body. That is the practice and publish.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

September 06, 2026Old Path White Clouds by Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh — Chapter 81. Old Path White Clouds
“People said that the Buddha had died, yet Svasti saw that the Buddha was more present than ever. He was present in Svasti’s own mind and body. He was present everywhere Svasti looked — in the bodhi tree, the Neranjara River, the green grass, the white clouds, and the leaves. The young buffalo boys were themselves the Buddha. Venerable Svasti felt a special relation to them. In a moment, he would strike up a conversation with them. They too could continue the Buddha’s work. Svasti understood that the way to continue the Buddha’s work was to look at all things with awareness, to take peaceful steps, and to smile with compassion, as the Buddha had done.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
