Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Discourse on the Eight Realizations of the Great Beings

Explore more: https://buddhistdoor.net

A kind reminder from Thich Nhat Hahn.
So far i agree with alsmost everything he says, i didn't really notice esoteric bs. It's more a philosophy.
I just don't agree with his view on perpetrators and pirates.
What i like about Buddhism - the critical approach.
Continued quote:
"...the kind of faith we cannot lose, because it is not based on ideas or beilefs but on experienced reality"

The ocean of suffering is immense,
but if you turn around,
you can see the land.

—Thích Nhất Hạnh

"The understanding expressed here is rooted in what I saw from #ThichNhatHanh as a kid. He encouraged me to keep looking into Jesus’s teachings, even though I was furious with “#Christianity” and the damage it had caused. I felt hurt, betrayed, and abused by the lies that had been told for thousands of years. But I kept looking, and over time, I began to see that #Jesus wasn’t at all like the version that been sold to us." https://www.facebook.com/BuddhaGangBodhisattva/posts/pfbid0hg6iDrECkjsThhZiyuWMMuC14oLCZ3CDwTiHPun49kgmMe2qBGHUjZnZ9yRS4Hzl #PlumVillage #BuddhaGang @buddhagang @plumvillage

Je viens de terminer "La colère - Transformer son énergie en sagesse" de Thich Nhat Hanh. J'y ai trouvé des idées intéressantes mais rien qui mérite ses 200 pages.
En réalité, il aurait pu être beaucoup plus court et plus intéressant. Alors que là il est dilué dans un amas gélatineux de vulgarisation à la guimauve. Dommage.
Je ne regrette pas de l'avoir lu pour autant.
Bonne journée à toustes !

"We can start our day with the happiness of a smile and the aspiration to dedicate ourselves to the path of love and understanding."
Thich Nhat Hanh

#Smile
Much love and blessings, everyone.

Je continue toujours mon voyage dans le #zen. Après son original chinois (chan), c'est la version vietnamienne (Thiên) qui m'intéresse avec "Le silence foudroyant" de #ThichNhatHanh qui présente le soutra de la maîtrise du serpent puis le soutra du diamant. Ici, on revient systématiquement vers l'enseignement du Bouddha avec toujours l' idée de ne pas s'enfermer dans l'enseignement du Bouddha qui est comparé à un serpent et les concepts avec le Diamant qui coupe l'illusion.

With the war in Gaza still raging
With the war in Ukraine still raging
With the war between factions in the USA still raging
Whether it is GOP against Democrats
Whether against Muslims
Whether against LGBTQ+
Whether against the "other"
We need to stop and think
We need to hear a voice of peace
We need to listen to #ThichNhatHanh

“Mindfulness must be engaged. Once we see that something needs to be done, we must take action. Seeing and acting go together. Otherwise, what is the use of seeing?

We must be aware of the real problems of the world. Then, with mindfulness, concentration, and insight, we will know what to do and what not to do in order to help.”

"Many people cannot allow themselves the time to sit and do nothing but breathe. They consider it to be uneconomical or a luxury. People say 'time is money.' But time is much more than money. Time is life. The simple practice of sitting quietly on a regular basis can be profoundly healing. Stopping and sitting is a good way to focus on mindful breathing and nothing else." #ThichNhatHanh

However innumerable beings are, I vow to meet them with kindness and interest.
However inexhaustible the states of suffering are, I vow to touch them with patience and love.
However immeasurable the dharmas are, I vow to explore them deeply.
However incomparable the mystery of interbeing, I vow to surrender to it freely. #ThichNhatHanh
