Nhat Hanh Notion Quotations

It's normal for human beings to identify with their own separate self. The problem is that we get caught in that notion of ourself as a separate individual and caught in that individual self's agenda.

To be or not to be is not the question. The question is whether you can transcend these notions.

When our beliefs are based on our own direct experience of reality and not on notions offered by others, no one can remove these beliefs from us.
