Thich Nhat Hanh
- Be Kind to Yourself
Sometimes when I am alone in my room in the dark, I practice smiling to myself. I do this to be kind to myself, to take good care of myself, to love myself. I know that if I cannot take care of myself, I cannot take care of anyone else.

The empty mind - the pure mind - is not a blank, zero-land, where you're not feeling or caring about anything. It's an effulgence of the mind. It's a brightness that is truly sensitive and accepting. It's an ability to accept life as it is. When we accept life as it is, we can respond appropriately to the way we're experiencing it, rather than just reacting out of fear and aversion.
Hsu Yun
- All is One
How wide are the horizons of the spinning earth! The moonlight leads the tides and the sun's light will not be confined within the net of heaven, but in the end all things return to the One. The deaf and the dumb, the crippled and deformed are all restored to One's perfection.
