Thich Nhat Hanh 2 - Master Of Mindfulness

Rating: 5.0


The teaching of mindfulness,
Through practice of awareness,
To be aware of the body,
To be aware of each breath,
To follow the breathing pattern,
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
To learn to concentrate on breath,
To be able to develop the mind,
With right understanding
With right conduct.
To maintain mindfulness.
With joy,
With peace!

Thich Nhat Hanh - The Master of mindfulness
Writes in 'Old Path White Clouds'
'Only with understanding we can love.
All suffering is overcome
When we attain understanding.
The path of true liberation
Is the path of understanding.
Understanding is 'prajna'.
Such understanding can only come
From looking deeply into true nature of things.
The path of precepts, concentration and understanding
Is the path which leads to liberation.'

We bow down
With reverence,
Before this great Master of mindfulness,
Respected ‘Thay Thich Nhat Hanh!
