Ele não precisa de punição; ele precisa de ajuda.” – Thich Nhat HanhThich Nhat Hanh 2 “Ser bonito significa ser você mesmo. Você não precisa ser aceito pelos outros. Você precisa se aceitar. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 3 “A esperança é importante porque pode tornar o momento presente menos difícil de suportar. Se acreditarmos que amanhã será melhor, podemos suportar as dificuldades hoje. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 4 “Se não estivermos felizes, se não tivermos paz, não podemos compartilhar a paz e a felicidade com os outros, mesmo aqueles que amamos, aqueles que vivem sob o mesmo teto. Se estivermos em paz, se estivermos felizes, podemos sorrir e florescer como uma flor, e todos em nossa família, toda a nossa sociedade, se beneficiarão de nossa paz. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 5 “A melhor maneira de cuidar do futuro é cuidar do momento presente.” Thich Nhat Hanh 6 “A vida está disponível apenas no momento presente.”Thich Nhat Hanh 7 “Ontem já se foi. Amanhã ainda não chegou. Hoje é o único dia disponível para nós; é o dia mais importante de nossas vidas. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 8 “Você deve amar de tal forma que a pessoa que você ama se sinta livre.”Thich Nhat Hanh 9 “O verdadeiro amor sempre traz alegria para nós mesmos e para quem amamos. Se nosso amor não traz alegria para nós dois, não é amor verdadeiro. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 10 “A liberdade não nos é dada por ninguém; temos que cultivá-lo nós mesmos. É uma prática diária … Ninguém pode impedi-lo de estar ciente de cada passo que você dá ou de cada inspiração e expiração. ” Thich Nhat HanhThich Nhat Hanh 11 “O desapego nos dá liberdade, e a liberdade é a única condição para a felicidade. Se, em nosso coração, ainda nos apegamos a qualquer coisa – raiva, ansiedade ou posses – não podemos ser livres. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 12 “Para que as coisas se revelem a nós, precisamos estar prontos para abandonar nossos pontos de vista sobre elas.”Thich Nhat Hanh 13 “O segredo para criar paz é o seguinte quando você escuta outra pessoa, você tem apenas um propósito oferecer a ela uma oportunidade de esvaziar seu você for capaz de manter essa consciência e compaixão vivas em você, então você pode sentar-se por uma hora e ouvir, mesmo que a fala da outra pessoa contenha muitas percepções erradas, condenações e amarguras. Você pode continuar a ouvir porque já está protegido pelo néctar da compaixão em seu próprio você não praticar a respiração consciente para manter viva essa compaixão, pode perder sua própria paz. Irão surgir irritação e raiva, e a outra pessoa perceberá e não será capaz de continuar. Manter a consciência o mantém seguro. “Thich Nhat Hanh 14 “A raiva é como uma tempestade subindo do fundo de sua consciência. Quando sentir que está chegando, concentre-se na respiração. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 15 “Inspirando, eu acalmo o corpo e a mente. Expirando, eu sorrio. Morando no momento presente, eu sei que este é o único momento. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 16 “Precisamos estar cientes do sofrimento, mas manter nossa clareza, tranquilidade e força para ajudar a transformar a situação.”Thich Nhat Hanh 17 “Temos que continuar aprendendo. Temos que estar abertos. E temos que estar prontos para liberar nosso conhecimento a fim de chegar a uma compreensão mais elevada da realidade. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 18 “As pessoas têm dificuldade em abandonar o sofrimento. Por medo do desconhecido, eles preferem o sofrimento familiar. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 19 “As pessoas matam e são mortas porque se agarram com muita força às suas próprias crenças e ideologias. Quando acreditamos que nossa fé é a única que contém a verdade, a violência e o sofrimento certamente serão o resultado ”.Thich Nhat Hanh 20 “Prevenir a guerra é muito melhor do que protestar contra a guerra. Protestar contra a guerra é tarde demais. ”Thich Nhat Hanh 21 “Porque você está vivo, tudo é possível.”Thich Nhat Hanh The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life. -Thich Nhat Hanh “We gauge the greatness of spiritual teachers by the depth, breadth, and impact of their teachings, and by the example their lives set for us. By all these measures, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the leading spiritual masters of our age,” writes Lion’s Roar editor-in-chief Melvin McLeod in his introduction to The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh. In his 94 years, Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh has made a global impact as a teacher, author, activist, and the founder of the Engaged Buddhism movement. His simple yet deeply profound teachings aim to lead students towards a life of mindfulness, joy, and peace—a life that benefits the planet, and all beings. Contents The Life of Thich Nhat Hanh Teachings on meditation Teachings on love Teachings on mindfulness Teachings on peace and happiness Teachings on Buddhist philosophy Teachings on saving the Earth Interviews and profiles Quotes Calligraphy Books The Life of Thich Nhat Hanh Early Life Thich Nhat Hanh, now affectionately referred to as “Thay” by his students, was born Nguyen Xuan Bao in central Vietnam in October of 1926. Interested in Buddhism from an early age, he entered the monastery at Tu Hieu Temple in Vietnam at sixteen and worked with his primary teacher, Zen master Thanh Quy Chan That. In 1949, Nhat Hanh, then 23, was ordained as a monk after receiving training in Vietnamese traditions of Mahayana Buddhism and Vietnamese Thien Buddhism. Nhat Hanh became editor-in-chief of the periodical created by the Unified Vietnam Buddhist Association, Vietnamese Buddhism. He went on to begin his activist work, founding La Boi Press and the Van Hanh Buddhist University in Saigon. Nhat Hanh also founded the School of Youth for Social Service, a neutral corps of Buddhist peaceworkers who established schools, built healthcare clinics, and rebuilt villages in rural areas.

The Vietnam War and Engaged Buddhism Nhat Hanh studied comparative religion at Princeton University in 1960 and was subsequently appointed a lecturer in Buddhism at Columbia University. He had become fluent in English, Japanese, Chinese, Sanskrit, Pali, and English. In 1963, he returned to Vietnam in 1963 to continue initiating nonviolent peace efforts. The founding of the Engaged Buddhism movement was his response to the Vietnam War. Nhat Hanh’s mission was to engage with suffering caused by war and injustice and to create a new strain of Buddhism that could save his country. In the formative years of the Engaged Buddhism movement, Nhat Hanh met Cao Ngoc Phuong, who would later become Sister Chang Kong. She hoped to arise activism for the poor in the Buddhist community, working closely with Nhat Hanh to do so. She remains his closest disciple and collaborator to this day. Three years later, Nhat Hanh returned to the to lead a symposium at Cornell University on Vietnamese Buddhism. There, he met with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and requested that King denounce the Vietnam War publicly to his large following. Dr. King granted the request in the following year with a speech that questioned America’s involvement in the war. Soon after, he nominated Nhat Hanh for a Nobel Peace Prize. “I do not personally know of anyone more worthy of [the prize] than this gentle monk from Vietnam. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity,” he wrote. Nhat Hanh served as the delegate for the Buddhist Peace Delegation at the Paris Peace talks in 1969, and the Paris Peace Accords were later signed in 1973. Nhat Hanh was exiled from Vietnam after these events and remained in France, a turn of events that deeply hurt the monk, and would keep him from his birthplace for many years to come. Establishing the Order of Interbeing Today, Nhat Hanh heads the Order of Interbeing, a monastic and lay group that he’d founded in 1966. In 1969, he founded the Unified Buddhist Church, and later in 1975, formed the Sweet Potatoes Meditation Center southeast of Paris, France. As the center grew in popularity, Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong founded Plum Village, a vihara Buddhist monastery and Zen center, in the South of France in 1982. Both Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong reside at Plum Village today. The center is open to the public for much of the year and houses retreats that see people traveling from across the globe to attend. Additionally, many dharma centers across the have been established as part the Order of Interbeing. Returning to Vietnam After many negotiations, the Vietnamese government allowed Nhat Hanh to return to Vietnam for a visit in 2005. He was able to teach, publish four books in Vietnamese, travel the country, and return to his root temple. Although his first trip home stirred controversy, Nhat Hanh was allowed to return again in 2007 to support new monastics in his Order, organize chanting ceremonies to help heal remaining wounds from the Vietnam War, and to lead retreats in his birth country.

He was taken to a stroke rehabilitation clinic at Bordeaux University Hospital, where he was able to recover enough to enjoy sipping tea outdoors and listen to the sounds of the outside world. As of June 2015, Nhat Hanh continues to reside at Plum Village, where his health has made remarkable process and he is able to enjoy being “out in nature, enjoying the blossoms, listening to the birds and resting at the foot of a tree.” Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on meditation Thich Nhat Hanh on How to Sit Thich Nhat Hanh’s incredibly simple instructions for meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh on Walking Meditation The practice of mindful walking, says Thich Nhat Hanh, is a profound and pleasurable way to deepen our connection with our body and the earth. We breathe, take a mindful step, and come back to our true home. Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on love Growing Together Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how we can use loving relationships to cultivate the seeds of buddhahood inside us.

Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on mindfulness Five Mindfulness Trainings The five mindfulness trainings are an expression of the five precepts, the core of Buddhist ethics, and offer a down-to-earth method of practicing mindfulness in daily life. Thich Nhat Hanh on The Practice of Mindfulness It is such a simple practice, but it can transform your life. The great meditation master Thich Nhat Hanh teaches five mindfulness exercises to help you live with happiness and joy. The Moment is Perfect There is nothing we experience—from the simple act of eating to the complications of work and relationships—that we cannot approach with the mindfulness and compassion we develop in our meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on peace and happiness 5 Practices for Nurturing Happiness A teaching from Thich Nhat Hanh’s book, No Mud, No Lotus The Art of Transforming Suffering. Happiness in Every Breath When we stop feeding our cravings, says Thich Nhat Hanh, we discover that we already have everything we need to be happy. There is no path to peace. The path is peace. Thich Nhat Hanh, in his 2003 address to congress, says that only deep listening, mindfulness, and gentle communication can remove the wrong perceptions that are the foundation of violence. Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on Buddhist philosophy The Practice of Sangha Thich Nhat Hanh explains that sangha is more than a community. It’s a deep spiritual practice. The Fourteen Precepts of Engaged Buddhism Number one? “Do not be idolatrous about or bound to any doctrine, theory, or ideology, even Buddhist ones. Buddhist systems of thought are guiding means; they are not absolute truth.” The Fullness of Emptiness Emptiness is not something to be afraid of, says Thich Nhat Hanh. The Heart Sutra teaches us that form may be empty of self but it’s full of everything else. The Four Layers of Consciousness Abhidharma, Buddhism’s map of the mind, is sometimes treated as a topic of merely intellectual interest. In fact, says Thich Nhat Hanh, identifying the different elements of consciousness, and understanding how they interact, is essential to our practice of meditation. The Practice of Looking Deeply Using Three Dharma Seals Thich Nhat Hanh teaches that by looking deeply we develop insight into impermanence and no self. These are the keys to the door of reality. Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on saving the Earth The World We Have Only when we combine our concern for the planet with spiritual practice will we have the tools to make the profound personal transformations necessary to address the coming environmental crisis.

You Don’t Need to Be Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh explains how anyone can use the five mindfulness trainings to lead a life of understanding and compassion. Be Beautiful, Be Yourself Andrea Miller’s exclusive interview with Thich Nhat Hanh. Thich Nhat Hanh quotes The ocean of suffering is immense, but if you turn around, you can see the land. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the Earth. Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet. Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves — slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love. The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.

"I have arrived I am home" calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh, available in the Lion's Roar Store. Books by Thich Nhat Hanh Peace is Every Breath A Practice for Our Busy Lives HarperOne “You have lots of work to do, and you like doing it,” says Thich Nhat Hanh at the beginning of Peace Is Every Breath. “But working too much, taking care of so many things, tires you out. You want to practice meditation, so you can be more relaxed and have more peace, happiness, and joy in your life. But you don’t have time for daily mediation practice.” If this describes your situation, Peace Is Every Breath will be an excel- lent resource. It offers anecdotes, meditations, and advice on connecting with your present experience without putting your life on hold. Thich Nhat Hanh explains “It isn’t necessary to set aside a certain period exclusively for Spiritual Practice’ with a capital S and a capital P. Our spiritual practice can be there at any moment, as we cultivate the energy of mindfulness and concentration.” FEAR Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm HarperOne In Fear Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm, Thich Nhat Hanh addresses the role mindfulness can play in letting go of our fears. We are afraid of being powerless, he teaches. But if we live in the present moment—if we have mindfulness—we will have the power to look deeply at our fears and understand their source. At that point, fear will no longer control us and we will touch the ultimate joy. We’ll realize that right now we’re okay. Our eyes can see the beauty of the sky and our ears can hear the voices of the people we love. Making Space Creating a Home Meditation Practice Parallax Press Peaceful places create peace in our minds and bodies. “That is the intention of sacred space,” it says in the introduction of this new release. “But we don’t need to wait until we can find a church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or other space designed for sacred contemplation… If we make a space for contemplation and meditation right in our own homes, then peace and joy are always available to us.” In Making Space, Thich Nhat Hanh begins with the how-tos of stopping, breathing, and sitting. Then he delves into the importance of creating a “breathing room” or “breathing corner,” a calm place at home that you can go to when you’re feeling uneasy, sad, or angry, and thereby come back to yourself. Later chapters explore topics such as how to invite the bell, how to make an altar, and how to make your bed a real place of rest and relaxation. Love Letter to the Earth Parallax Press Environmental activists get a bad rap for being dour. Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, however, is anything but. Instead of finger-pointing and calling for austerity, his solution to our environmental crisis is mindfulness. Through mindfulness, he says, we realize that the Earth is not simply the ground beneath our feet—we are the Earth. Every cell in our body comes from the Earth and is part of it. “We are a living, breathing manifestation of this beautiful and generous planet,” he says. When we know this, we fall completely in love with the Earth, and as with anything we love, we naturally do whatever we can to take care of it. I particularly appreciate Thich Nhat Hanh’s heartfelt description of seeing for the first time photos of the Earth taken from space. He saw a glowing jewel and recognized the Earth’s fragility. “Dear Earth,” he thought, “I didn’t know that you are so beautiful. I see you in me. I see me myself in you.” The Blooming of a Lotus Beacon Press Thich Nhat Hanh offers guided exercises to bring practitioners into greater harmony with themselves and their world. The text includes music to aid our memories in helping us learn simple principles. The many meditations focus on guiding sentences that glide along with the revised edition includes five new meditations They show us how mindful consumption and mindful actions can help prevent suffering and water the seeds of compassion; how to be in touch with our Buddha nature; and how to see our parents more deeply. These meditations will deepen the practice of advanced practitioners, as well as start beginners on the path. How to Eat Parallax Press While some monastic communities de-emphasize food in favor of focusing wholly on the spiritual, Thich Nhat Hanh’s community considers food central to practice. “In the Catholic tradition, in the Eucharist,” Thich Nhat Hanh says, “you see the piece of bread as the body of Jesus. In the Buddhist tradition, we see the piece of bread as the body of the cosmos.” When we mindfully savor each bite, we understand that in bread there’s the sun and rain, the soil and compost, the farmer and baker, because without any one of them there’d be no bread. So, when we eat mindfully, we feel nourished by and connected to the universe. We also become more aware of own bodies and emotions and, thus, naturally eat in moderation, leading to better health. Moreover, mindful eating is a powerful tool for social change. In deeply contemplating our food we find ourselves inspired to advocate for best-farming practices and/or take action on behalf of the world’s hungry. How to Eat is a concise and cheerful guide to mindful cooking, serving meals, eating, and washing the dishes. A Handful of Quiet Happiness in Four Pebbles Plum Blossom Books For many years, Thich Nhat Hanh has been teaching pebble practice to give children and their families a tangible way to return to their breath and connect with the world around them. A Handful of Quiet is a lovingly illustrated book that brings this meditation to life. All you’ll need to practice it is a quiet spot and four ordinary pebbles. Each represents a different image embodying a particular quality. You can certainly choose your own images and qualities, but in Nhat Hanh’s classic version pebble one represents the freshness and beauty of a flower, while pebble two represents the solidity of a mountain. Pebble three represents the reflectivity of calm water and pebble four, the freedom of space. Breathing in and out, you pick up each pebble in turn and in your mind’s eye see yourself as the respective image. If you’re holding the flower pebble, for instance, you see yourself as a flower in the garden of humanity. Connecting with your inner flower, you know that you are fresh, pleasant, and loveable. An esteemed peace activist and writer, Thích Nhất Hạnh became one of the founders of the Engaged Buddhism movement during the Vietnam War. He and his fellow monks had to decide between continuing life as if the war were not happening or undertaking the duty of helping their country through the war. They chose the latter.

We even have a web version of the app, and two browser addons for Chrome and Firefox to help us maintain the insight of interbeing throughout the day by showing one of Thay’s calligraphy in every new tab. As a visionary and forward-thinking Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh had envisaged an “Online Monastery”, where people could get the feel of practicing mindfulness in a Plum Village practice center anywhere via their computer. We are trying to realise part of this vision through the Plum Village App. Unlike the hugely popular meditation apps out there, it allows people to experience mindfulness in a Buddhist tradition. We can make good use of technology in order to help people go home to themselves and take care of themselves and their Nhat Hanh Thich Nhat Hanh and his Plum Village monastic community have reached hundreds of thousands of people through books and retreats around the world now there is a chance to learn directly from the renowned Zen Master via the app. The app offers many guided meditations and more traditional practices such as chanting from monks and nuns. Anyone who has visited a Plum Village center will know that Thich Nhat Hanh encourages the use of practice songs as ways to bring joy and fun to deep Buddhist teachings and these are available on the app. There are hundreds of answers from the Zen Master to questions that students have asked him directly and a range of teachings including how to embrace difficult feelings and emotions. Meditation and mindfulness should be as accessible, loving and easy as this app. My life has become ever so peaceful and loving from practising the beautiful meditations, contemplations and all on this app. I’m forever grateful it arrived on my path. Thank Wareham Google Play review Some of the audio has been recorded on retreats so is not a polished studio-quality sound, but instead, the feeling is much more spontaneous and alive, the closest you can get to a direct transmission from a world renowned Buddhist Zen Master. The app also allows people to set a mindfulness bell as a regular reminder to return to their breathing, something Thich Hanh Hanh has encouraged his students to do. The app is offered completely free by the Centre for Applied Ethics Ltd., a non-profit organisation established in London. This has been made possible by the generosity of members of the Plum Village monastic and lay communities, who have dedicated much time and money in creating a gift for the world. Since the launch of the project, along with user numbers and app features, our team also grew we are happy to now have Cata and Maarten as project managers / UX practitioners, Raj and Justin as master developers, Elina and Anca lovingly managing communications, Yen, Karina and Beth helping with beautiful illustrations, Karim overviewing the editorial aspect, and Mayumi Oda inspiring us with her legendary mix of Buddhist feminist aesthetic though her beautiful artworks that you can see on the website. As it’s been traditionally the case with Buddhist teachings for millennia, the app is offered freely and users can choose to donate if they value it and want to support it to continue and develop further.
