Thich Nhat Hanh is said to be one of the greatest mindfulness and compassion teachers to grace this planet and he is passing away.
Some of my favourite quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh are :
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Everday we are engaged in a miracle we don’t even recognise: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child-our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Smile, breathe and go slowly.
