Nhat Hanh Helping Quotations

Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.

The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.

We need to be aware of the suffering, but retain our clarity, calmness and strength so we can help transform the situation.

The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.

Recognize that it is not really possible to steadily help others when we ourselves are not in good physical, mental, or emotional state. We may be able to carry on for a while, but sooner or later we end up feeling depleted, discouraged, or weak. We cannot keep on giving when we are running on an empty tank. We need to be solid.

Happiness is available. Please help yourself to it.

Without being peace, we cannot do anything for peace. If we cannot smile, we cannot help other people to smile. If we are not peaceful, then we cannot contribute to the peace movement.

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

Do not live with a vocation that is harmful to humans and nature. Do not invest in companies that deprive others of their chance to live. Select a vocation that helps realise your ideal of compassion.
