Thich Nhat Hanh was a living Buddha and the source of inspiration for millions worldwide. He died earlier this year in his 90s. Here are three wisdom insights from him which I find inspiring, informing and highly motivation. Each quote is followed by an insight which emerged for me. - VMP
The first thing we have to do is accept the mud in ourselves. When we recognize and accept our difficult feelings and emotions, we begin to feel more at peace. When we see that mud is something that can help us grow, we become less afraid of it. (Insight: No life is tidy; be nicer to yourself)
We should speak more of spiritual pollution. We produce a very powerful and peaceful energy that can penetrate in every one of us. So, conversely, the same thing is true with the collective energy of fear, anger and despair. We create an atmosphere and environment that is destructive to all of us. (Insight: too much news reading, listening from both right and left is spiritual pollution)
One Buddha is not enough, we need to have many Buddhas. (Insight: Do your part to make the planet a better place by aspiring to become a Buddha!)
