Nhat Hanh Quotes About Community

Quotes about: Community

• 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. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth.

  Nhat Hanh

  Kindness, Community, Understanding

• If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?

• We talk about social service, service to the people, service to humanity, service to others who are far away, helping to bring peace to the world - but often we forget that it is the very people around us that we must live for first of all. If you cannot serve your wife or husband or child or parent - how are you going to serve society? If you cannot make your own child happy, how do you expect to be able to make anyone else happy? If all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?

  Nhat Hanh

  Children, Husband, People

• Loving ourselves means loving our community. When we are capable of loving ourselves, nourishing ourselves properly, not intoxicating ourselves, we are already protecting and nourishing society.

  Nhat Hanh

  Mean, Community, Our Community

• In Buddhism, there are three gems: Buddha, the awakened one; Dharma,
  the way of understanding and loving; and Sangha, the community that
  lives in harmony and awareness. The three are interrelated, and at
  times it is hard to distinguish one from another. In everyone there
  is the capacity to wake up, to understand, and to love. So in
  ourselves we find Buddha, and we also find Dharma and Sangha.
