Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart Of The Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering Into Peace, Joy, And Liberation Quotes

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.

The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.

Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.

Equanimity means to let go, not to abandon.

Do not lose yourself in the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. Do not get caught in your anger, worries, or fears. Come back to the present moment, and touch life deeply. This is mindfulness.
