Miracle Enlightenment Alive

More From Nhat Hanh

The miracle is not to walk on water, or in the air, or on burning charcoal. the miracle is to walk on earth. you breathe in, you become aware of the fact that you are alive. you are alive and you are walking on this beautiful planet. the greatest of of all miracles is to be alive.

Enlightenment
If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. we cannot breathe, we cannot think. to be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. we cannot be alive if we are not empty. emptiness is impermanence, it is change. we should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.
Buddhist Block Mean
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. but i think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. all is a miracle.

Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.
Book Reading Silence
What is thy thought? there is no miracle? there is a great one, which thou hast not read, and never shalt escape. thyself, o man, thou art the miracle. ay, thou thyself, being in the world and of the world, thyself, hast breathed in breath from him that made the world. thou art thy father's copy of himself,-- thou art thy father's miracle.

When i was 5, someone thought it was smart to let me watch the people under the stairs. it might not have even been that scary, but i do remember skinned people in cages under the stairs and a man who lived in a wall without a tongue… and that’s why i cry after sex.
