Thanks Roz for passing this on to us ~ what a beloved soul/guide/friend he has been.He’s always touched me so deeply with his beautiful humble ways ~ for most of us ~ having come into our lives at another very crucial time ~ ( Vietnam ). ~m. 🙏🌟
Do not say that I’ll depart tomorrow ~ even today I still arrive.
Look deeply: every second I am arrivingto be a bud on a Spring branchto be a tiny bird in my new nestto be a caterpillar in the heart of a flowerto be a jewel hiding onto a stone.
I still arrive in order to laugh and cryto fear and to hope.
The rhythm of my heartis the birth and deathof all that is alive.
Thich Nhat Hanh

>From Thich Nhat Hanh's Sangha:



Dear Sangha, there is word beloved teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has stopped
eating. There are a number of his monks traveling to him now in Vietnam to
be in his presence. Thay has been incredibly strong and vibrant following
his stroke in 2014 and he will mark 94 years on October 11. A report from
Plum Village on Sept 18th stated his health has been declining despite the
best of care.
Please join me and others in meditation for Thay. Plum Village has
requested we sit or walk for Thay and offer forgiveness to others as a way
to continue Thay's energy of peace. If we can sit and generate compassion
for others and forgiveness we increase the being and the legacy of Thay.
Thay taught us the next Buddha may be the sangha. Perhaps our mindful
thoughts and actions now for him will bring that closer and help him to
touch more lives than ever as he ends this incarnation.
May Thay be peaceful now in his root temple and feel the love and
gratitude from all over the world. 🙏
