Nhat Hanh Can Quotations

Transformations is the word. We can do the work of transformation only in the present moment

We who have touched war have a duty to bring the truth about war to those who have not had a direct experience of it. We are the light at the tip of the candle. It is really hot, but it has the power of shining and illuminating. If we practice mindfulness, we will know how to look deeply into the nature of war and, with our insight, wake people up so that together we can avoid repeating the same horrors again and again.

If we can not smile, we cannot help other people to smile.

You have to do it by yourself. You can not do it alone.

I don't have to hate any person because I can always start anew, I can always reconcile.
