Peace is every step…

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”

“I have lost my smile, but don’t worry. The dandelion has it.”

“We will not just say, “I love him very much,” but instead, “I will do something so that he will suffer less.” The mind of compassion is truly present when it is effective in removing another person’s suffering.”

From “Peace Is Every Step” by Thich Nhat Hanh

This is my little collection of Buddhist studies. Whenever I am having a hard time in life, I gravitate towards these - this wisdom.

Of all of them, I recommend -

The Energy of Prayer by Thich Nhat Hanh
Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh
Path to Bliss by the Dalai Lama
And to understand Buddhism - the absolute best book every written (in my humble opinion) on Buddhism is Buddhism Plain and Simple by Steve Hagan
