Mini Mindfulness Break for February 24, 2019

“The Buddha, Shakyamuni, our teacher, predicted that the next Buddha would be Maitreya, the Buddha of love…. It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh, “The Next Buddha May Be A Sangha”

– Thich Nhat Hanhin Inquiring Mind journal, Spring 1994., “The Next Buddha May Be A Sangha”

NOTE: This month we celebrate my teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh who is now residing in his original temple, Tu Hieu in Vietnam. According to Plum Village sources, he plans to spend the rest of his days there, walking and visiting the resting place of his teacher.

My book, Mindfulness Breaks, Your Path to Awakening, celebrates Thich Nhat Hanh and one of my first teachers, Father Eli. The book is being released this month. Chick on the link below or in the bio for more information.

May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering!

All my best,
