No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering

by Thich Nhat Hanh

The hardest thing to practice is not allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by despair.

Maybe we have not been kind enough to our body for some time.

We relive the past, we worry about the future.

Electronic distractions not only fail to help heal the underlying suffering, they may contain stories or images that feed our craving, jealousy, anger, or despair. Instead of making us feel better, they numb us only briefly, then make us feel worse.

Reminder !
