• Si no sabes cuidar de ti mismo y de la violencia que hay en ti, no podrás cuidar de los demás. Debes tener amor y paciencia antes de poder escuchar de verdad a tu pareja o a tu hijo. Si estás irritado, no puedes escuchar. Tienes que saber respirar con atención, aceptar tu irritación y transformarla. Ofrece SÓLO comprensión y compasión a tu pareja o hijo: ésta es la verdadera práctica del amor.

• People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar. Thich Nhat Hanh If you gathered up all the fearful thoughts that exist in the mind of the average person, looked at them objectively, and tried to decide just how much good they provided that person, you would see that not some but all fearful thoughts are useless. They do no good. Zero. They interfere with dreams, hopes, desire and progress.

• [Thich Nhat Hanh] the one that revolutionized Buddhism. Instead of being monks just engaged in meditation, it was active Buddhism. You went out and felt the ills of the community around you. Instead of retreating to a monastery, you were out in the streets working. And he's been a great help to me, just reading his book, so I don't feel helpless about what I can do about all the violence around me.

• Thich Nhat Hanh has the ability to express some of the most profound teachings of interdependence and emptiness I've ever heard. With the eloquence of a poet, he holds up a sheet of paper and teaches us that the rain cloud and the tree and the logger who cut the tree down are all there in the paper. He's been one of the most significant carriers of the lamp of the dharma to the West that we have had.
