You have left home for a long time and home has become a mess - this line ❤

"it is a mess, yes but i accept it!" So powerful of Thay. Thanks a lot for doing so much service for the world.

Oh my gosh - I love this guy He spent over 60 years teaching Peace 🌷🧘🏻‍♀️🌱⛲️

Until today, I used to think of loneliness as something separate from me that I needed to distance myself from. I never thought of it as a part of myself.

Thank you thay, wonderful teacher

“The way out is in..”. - Thank you, Thay 🙏

Thay, a real Buddha, a real master; love you so much, so inspirational ❤❤❤❤💕💕💕🙏

Dearest “Thay,” it is your birthday time.❤️🙏 I have been dealing with breast cancer-I completed chemo 2-1/2 weeks ago. As I recover, I am listening to Thay. May G-d bless this great teacher always....We all love you, Thay. Thank you so deeply for your still, wise, & compassionate teachings!🙏🙏🙏🌻

I really can’t thank Thay enough for his teachings and for the work of the monks at Plum Village. My deepest thanks :)

I was a crook before I started learning from Thich Nhan Hanh and now I’m better. Hey

So simple yet so forgotten. Love yourself first.

Thank you master 🙏🏼 Nour Ala Nour ✨✨💞💞✨✨

🙏❤️ So much love, so much respect for dear, dear Thay Thank you

Until we learn to be comfortable in our own skin & to nurture our own soulz... everything we try to fulfill it with will only be temporary relief & may end up making a gaping wound bigger! The only way out... is in! 🧘‍♀️

Thank you for your teaching.

I can attain this kind of state in nature when I am alone in nature, but I can't attain it in town or in the presence of other people. I'm 67 and have studied and practiced many spiritual methods; some in depth and with daily practices, and some by dabbling and moving on. It took me a while to cobble together a personal practice I really like, and Buddhism is a piece of it, but sure not the whole thing. I was an atheist as a teen before I discovered how I reacted to being alone in wilderness, and I didn't experience real wilderness till my 20s (having been born in the Bronx & grown up in the NY metropolitan area; but I live in the northwest now and have been here for over 45 years; moved here when I was 21). I slowly came to recognize that the wilderness is my church, but having started as an atheist it took me years to recognize this, and then even more years to become comfortable saying out loud that nature is my church. Thich Nhat Hanh's advice is that one can start simply by paying attention to one's breath and breathing deep was my natural first response to being in nature. The beautiful fragrances . . . . The natural sounds are so beautiful. I got silent and went inwards just by being there, as a young woman, and I knew I needed that; needed wilderness; more than a good job, more than renown, more than money or a a marriage or family; more than anything else.... (Do you know that when there isn't any breeze, or any rush of a nearby river or stream to drown it out - - - Nature makes its own ongoing sounds which drown out the softer natural sounds - - - did you know that snow falling on snow, tinkles? Snow falling on snow tinkles very faintly; like wine glasses crashed in a fire place during a wasteful bash at a 1%ers' party, but much much softer, and and gentler, and steadier, (like the sound of a light rain in its steadiness and gentleness) and at a higher pitch than smashing glass. After all it is crystals falling on crystals .... And it doesn't need to be nearly that quiet for you to hear your own heart beat, when mechanical noises are completely absent. The hiking I needed to get into deep wilderness forced me to get in touch with, and listen to, and honor the directives, of my entire body; which is more advice from the Buddhists (and on other paths, too). Now that I know where my church is, and I have spent lots of time in it; lots of time in the place that brings me home, again and again and again, and I understand more why devout people come "home" when they go to church, or temple, or to the mosque. But being inside of a building never could be a bridge for me, or a door for me, or whatever metaphor one likes best; even the most beautiful buildings just don't do it for me. I admired the art of the Cistine Chapel ceiling;a when I got to see it, but I don't come home to myself effortlessly by gazing at it. I've never been to the Taj Mahal, but I imagine I'd admire the architecture and tile work, and not come home to myself there, either.

Thank you 🙏

First : turning back to myself.

To be perfectly honest I don't think one can fully embrace loneliness because once you are it's like a lifetime sentence that's surely self imposed and hope flies out of the window of ever being near a human being again
