Thich Nhat Hanh

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos — the trees, the clouds, everything.

Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.

Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life.

When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens.

To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.

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.

Life is available only in the present moment.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly.

The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.
