Vietnamese Zen master and teacher of mindfulness.
Compassionate listening is a gift. When you listen to another without judgment, without trying to fix, you give them a priceless gift.
We are not separate from nature. We are part of the earth. When we care for the earth, we care for ourselves.
Buddhism is not a religion of beliefs. Buddhism is a science of liberation. Liberation from fear, suffering, and ego.
Anger is a signal of pain. Instead of reacting, embrace your anger with tenderness. Listen to it like mothers listen to crying children.
Mindfulness is coming home to yourself. When you are present in each moment, life becomes deeper.
Love is when you listen deeply to another person. When you can understand their suffering - that is love.
Nothing dies. Everything transforms. Leaves return to the earth and nourish new life. This is the cycle of existence.
You think that your cloud has died, but a cloud never dies. A cloud can become the rain — and now I see you in the form of tea.
