The Power of Mindfulness and a True Smile



 
Thich  Nhat Hanh
A Zen Master, Thich  ''carries stillness with him even as he moves. Periodically, he has come to offer teachings to several thousand students gathered at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Each time, as he walked up the road to begin teaching, the slow, beautifully careful placement of his steps on earth was visible to all. A stillness fell over the crowd. The power of his mindfulness brought everyone into the present. His presence inspired a profound attention.''

From Jack Kornfield's AWise Heart

The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Peace Is Every Step
