Last night before I went to bed I saw the news that beloved teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh (or Thay as he was known to his students) had died at age 95.

I loved reading his teachings. What a long life he led through difficulties I can only imagine. Still he was a light to so many. So I thought I would share a few quotes this morning along with a few photographs.

A Tribute to Thay

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

In, out
Deep, slow

Calm, ease

Smile, release

Present moment, wonderful moment

   — Thich Nhat Hanh

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment. ― Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.
Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.
Thich Nhat Hanh

May you walk in beauty.
