Spirituality is not religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply each moment of our life. Having a spiritual dimension in our lives does not mean escaping life or dwelling in a place of bliss outside this world but discovering ways to handle life’s difficulties and generate peace, joy, and happiness right where we are, on this beautiful planet. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #spiritualpath #happiness #peace #joy #understanding #love #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
We need too awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #earth #awakening #motherearth #planet #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #thichnhathanhquotecollective #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
To worship the Earth is to love her, to take care of her, and to take refuge in her. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #earth #worship #mindfulness #nature #thichnhathanh #thichnhathanhquotecollective #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
Life is so precious, yet in our daily lives, we are usually carried away by our forgetfulness, anger and worries, lost in the past, unable to touch life in the present moment. When we are truly alive, everything we do or touch is a miracle. To practice mindfulness is to return to life in the present moment. The practice of the first precept is a celebration of reverence for life. When we appreciate and honor the beauty of life, we will do everything in our power to protect all life. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #presentmoment #life #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #thichnhathanhquotecollective #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
To see oneself as the vast sky and great earth is to attain nirvana the ground of no birth and no death. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #nirvana #oneness #enlightenment #understanding #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
As long as we have mindfulness with us, we can breathe mindfully throughout the day as we go about our daily activities. But our mindfulness will be stronger and we’ll get more healing and communicate more successfully if we take the time to pause and sit quietly for a few moments. When a newly freed Nelson Mandela came to France for a visit, a journalist asked him what he would most like to do. He said, “Sit down and do nothing.” Since his release from prison and his official entry into politics, he hadn’t had any time to just enjoy sitting. We should make time to sit, even if it’s for only a few minutes a day, because sitting is a pleasure. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #mindfulness #breathe #understanding #healing #wisdom #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
Spirituality doesn’t mean a blind belief in a spiritual teaching. Spirituality is a practice that brings relief, communication, and transformation. Everyone needs a spiritual dimension in life. Without a spiritual dimension, it’s very challenging to be with the daily difficulties we all encounter. With a spiritual practice, you’re no longer afraid. Along with your physical body, you have a spiritual body. The practices of breathing, walking, concentration, and understanding can help you greatly in dealing with your emotions, in listening to and embracing your suffering, and in helping you to recognize and embrace the suffering of another person. If we have this capacity, then we can develop a real and lasting spiritual intimacy with ourselves and with others. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #spirituality #relief #transformation #suffering #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes

The substance of a Buddha is mindfulness. Every time you practice conscious breathing, you are a living Buddha. — Thich Nhat Hanh.

Seeing you smile, I know immediately that you are dwelling in awareness. Keep this smile always blooming, the half-smile of a Buddha. — Thich Nhat Hanh.
Don’t worry if you feel you can only do one tiny good thing in one small corner of the cosmos. Just be a Buddha body in that one place. – Thich Nhat Hanh.
It is exactly because the Buddha was a human being that countless Buddha’s are possible. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #buddha #love #understanding #awareness #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #multipost #thichnhathanhquotecollective #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
