“I am a continuation like the rain is the continuation of the cloud.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear: Comforting Wisdom for Life

“Just because we do not perceive something, it is not correct to say it does not exist.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear: Comforting Wisdom for Life

“Nothing can exist by itself alone. It has to depend on every other thing. That is called inter-being. [...] There is no being; there is only inter-being.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear: Comforting Wisdom for Life

“When there is great pain, there are only three rules: not to push the pain away, not to try to understand it, and not to indulge in it...Make yourself as open as a young tree caught in a storm. Let the storm bend you at its will, do not resist it, do not argue with it either- how could one argue with the wind and the rain?- and never ever feel sorry for yourself.”
― Muriel Maufroy, Rumi's Daughter
