Being Peace - Quotes

Below are a few quotes from Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh:

• Understanding means throwing away your knowledge.
• You are not an observer, you are a participant.
• It is possible to live happily in the here and now. So many conditions of happiness are available—more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don't have to run into the future in order to get more.
• Understanding and love aren't two separate things, they're just one.
• Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No argument, no reasoning, no blame, just understanding.
