Practice and All is Coming
“In the utmost anguish of his soul, the shell will break.
The light of the burning hut will witness his glorious deliverance.
I will wait for him beside the burning cottage.
Tears will run down my cheeks.
I will be there to contemplate his new being.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
The Story of a River
“The Story of a River,” written by my beloved teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, is a beautiful allegory that reveals the stark truth of the human journey — the struggle between grasping and letting go, the experience of bliss and suffering, and eventually, the learning, growing, and settling in wisdom and peace.
