Mini Mindfulness Break for February 08, 2019

The Consequence of Forgetfulness

If we live in forgetfulness rather than in mindfulness–in a dream–we are creating violence without being aware of it. The way we live our daily lives and the way we consume creates a lot of suffering, a lot of injustice. We think it does not harm us, or others, but it can be very violent.

– Thich Nhat Hanh, “Waking Up the Nation “

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 for more information.

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

All my best,
