Happy Life | Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh | #mindfulness

  • Not Synced
    Many of us have spent our life searching
    for material
  • Not Synced
    comforts and uh affective
    comforts. And many of us uh do have a
  • Not Synced
    lot of uh comforts but we are not
    happy. We have enough uh we may have
  • Not Synced
    enough money. You may have enough
    material or
  • Not Synced
    comforts and we may have someone who
    love us who understand
  • Not Synced
    us and yet we are not
    happy because we don't have muchness.
  • Not Synced
    than those of us who do not
    have uh a lot of money.
  • Not Synced
    But because we practice
    mindfulness, that is why we treasure our time.
  • Not Synced
    You know, time is very
    precious.
  • Not Synced
    When you wake up in the
    morning, the first thing you do is to
  • Not Synced
    breathe and to be aware that you have uh
    24 hours to live.
  • Not Synced
    Waking up this morning, I
    smile. I have 24 hours to live.
  • Not Synced
    You want to leave the 24 hours that are
    given to you in such a way that peace,
  • Not Synced
    joy, happiness can be possible.
  • Not Synced
    You are not going to waste your 24
    hours because the 24 hours are a gift of life.
  • Not Synced
    So the practice of mindfulness is to be
    aware of everything you do in your daily
  • Not Synced
    life so that you can do it mindfully and
    you can enjoy every moment of your daily life.
  • Not Synced
    That is uh the practice of
    mindfulness to live more
  • Not Synced
    deeply every moment so that you will not
    waste your time and waste your life.
  • Not Synced
    Maybe you have wasted many days in
    anger and fear jealousy.
  • Not Synced
    You have not made the
    best of the time given us to live.
  • Not Synced
    Is it possible to live in such a
    way that you have more
  • Not Synced
    peace, more joy, more
    happiness that help us to help other
  • Not Synced
    people to suffer
    less? And the answer is yes.
  • Not Synced
    If uh you take up mindfulness and
    practice and then you enjoy more the
  • Not Synced
    time given to you to
    live and with more joy and peace and
  • Not Synced
    happiness you can certainly help other
    people to suffer less and have more joy.
  • Not Synced
    Time is no longer
    money. Time is peace. Time is life.
  • Not Synced
    There are people who are victims
    of their success.
  • Not Synced
    Even if they they have
    success, they can be victim of their
  • Not Synced
    success. But no one is victim of his or
    her happiness.
