The World We Have

Rating:★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Religion & Spirituality
Author:Thich Nhat Hanh
Another inpiration author for me . . .

I don't remember this one is the fourth or fifth book of him, but I'm sure that every time I finished one of Thich Nhat Hanh, I can love more and more the nature & happy to see the world :)

The third part, "Practices for mindful living" is the essence this book . . .

Here are some pieces for whom wanna try and this book is also in my list to borrow you guys if u wanna read :)

"In the garbage, I see a rose
In the rose, I see the garbage.
Everything is in transformation.
Even permanence is impermanent."

"Breathing in, I know I am of the nature to grow old.
Breathing out, I know I cannot escape old age.

Breathing in, I know I am of the nature to get sick.
Breathing out, I know I cannot escape sickness.

Breathing in, I know I am of the nature to die.
Breathing out, I know I cannot escape dying.

Breathing in, I know one day I will have to let go of everything and everyone I cherish.
Breathing out, there is no way to bring them along.

Breathing in, I know that I bring nothing with me except my actions, thoughts, and deeds.
Breathing out, only my actions come with me."
