“Do not think the knowledge you presently possess is changeless, absolute truth. Avoid being narrow-minded and bound to present views. Learn and practice nonattachment from views in order to be open to receive others' viewpoints.” - Thich Nhat Hanh, Interbeing

It is not impermanence that makes you suffer. What makes you suffer is wanting things to be permanent, when they are not. -Thich Nhat Hanh 📸 MFCarter

Today my heart breaks as a result of my father passing away 💔 The Five remembrances are not an ominous warning of what is coming, but a reminder to smile, look deeply and shine the light of mindfulness to transform fear and see the nature of our actions. #PlumVillage #zen #buddhism #TichNhatHanh

Stop, just for a moment, to focus on your breath; notice the feeling of the air flowing in then out again. A few breaths is all it takes. 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮, 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥. ~𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘕𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘩 #PlumVillage #zen #buddhism #TichNhatHanh

"Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes." - Thich Nhat Hanh #home #mindfulness #present #happiness #schnauzer #schnauzergang #dog #dogsofbluesky

“The wave does not need to die to become water. She is already water.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh Thank you to all who gently point the way with your meditation practices ♥️ I’m still practicing. 🙏😊

Afternoon all. Bright and Beautiful! Siesta time for Jack & Diane 😴 Enjoy the Day 🌞

The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh #landscape #mountain #quote

We can’t control what happens around us. But we can choose how we respond. True strength isn’t about winning an argument. It’s about keeping your heart open and your mind clear, no matter what. Breathe, acknowledge, and let the feeling pass. #Mindfulness #ThichNhatHanh #PlumVillage

Self-love means treating yourself with kindness. Today, make time for something that brings you joy, whether it’s a good book or a walk in nature. — Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh

"When you have compassion in your heart, you suffer much less, and you are in a situation to help others suffer less." When we tend to our own suffering with care, we naturally become kinder—to ourselves and to everyone around us. #Mindfulness #ThichNhatHanh #Compassion #PlumVillage

Life is available only in the present moment. — Thich Nhat Hanh #ThichNhatHanh #present #life #moment

'Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.' Thich Nhat Hanh

Today, please take a moment to sit, breathe and appreciate the wonders around you. "Breathing in, I know I'm alive. Breathing out, I smile to life in me and around me." ~ Ticht Nhat Hanh 🪷 #PlumVillage #zen #buddhism #TichNhatHanh #mindfulness

I’ve always been able to do #non-attachment, before reading more into #buddhism, it allows me to be open to all ideas, understand very different viewpoints & work together to negotiate compromises. Producing new ideas & different thinking, it’s always been successful on projects. This 👇

Some say that Zen is too simple to make a real difference. Trust the process. “You only need to dwell peacefully in your in-breath and out-breath for a short while, and you will begin to restore stability and peace within yourself.” ~Tich Nhat Hanh #PlumVillage #zen #buddhism #TichNhatHanh

Time to spring forward! Welcoming an extra hour of daylight - an extra hour to listen to bird songs, admire unfurling buds and connect with wildlife. 🍃 #BST #Wildlife

I find it odd when people see the smoke from fires like this and say it’s ‘terrible for the environment’, when this is exactly what all of the oil would have done to the environment anyway, yet people don’t think of it like that 🧐 Maybe current world affairs will be an turning point for us all 🌳🌴🍃

I had the chance to talk about my new book with the LA Compassionate Heart Sangha yesterday. The sangha leader paid me the highest compliment: he said it was like Thich Nhat Hanh himself had written my Declaration of Interdependence. This is a lovely flower one of the sangha members gave me.

This past week has been a tough one; I’ve had a close relative spend time in hospital to undergo an operation, and another who resides in the Middle East has been subject to some pretty frightening circumstances. Meditation has been my refuge. 🪷 #PlumVillage #zen #buddhism #TichNhatHanh

This morning’s practice was a beautiful guided meditation offered by @brspirit.bsky.social via the Plum Village App. Thank you for sharing Brother 🙏🏼 🪷 #PlumVillage #Zen #buddhism #meditation #compassion

Friends—You belong, just as you are, and I’m glad you’re here. The unity that suppresses community is not true unity. The oneness that denies diversity is not true oneness. The strength build on hate is not true strength. This is the message of my new book On Mindful Democracy—check it out!
