"Listening with empathy means that you listen in such a way that the other
person feels you are really listening, really understanding, hearing with your whole being - with your heart (...) Deep listening, compassionate listening is not listening with the purpose of
analyzing or even uncovering what has happened in the past. You listen first of all in order to give the other person relief, a chance to speak out, to feel that someone finally understands him
or her (...) During this time you have in mind only one idea, one desire: to listen in order to give the other person the chance to speak out and suffer less."
Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger (Chapter 5, Compassionate
communication)

of Man with the Divine
is not the result of an imposed teaching
but comes from the direct experience

"Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive-the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Just being ourself is the biggest fear of
humans."

"It is best if we do not listen to or look at the person whom we consider to be
the cause of our anger. Like a fireman, we have to pour water on the blaze first and not waste time looking for the one who set the house on fire."
Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
"In our consciousness, there are many negative seeds and also many positive seeds.
The practice is to avoid watering the negative seeds, and to identify and water the positive seeds every day."
Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger: wisdom for cooling the flames
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets
burned.”
Buddha (Unknown source)

"When the last Red Man shall have perished,
and the memory of my tribe
shall have become a myth among the White Men,
these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe,
and when your children's children think themselves alone in the field,
the store, the shop, upon the highway,
or in the silence of the pathless woods,
they will not be alone.
In all the earth there is no place dedicated to solitude.
At night when the streets of your cities and villages are silent
and you think them deserted,
they will throng with the returning hosts that once filled them
and still love this beautiful land.
The White Man will never be alone.
Let him be just and deal kindly with my people,
for the dead are not powerless.
Dead, did I say? - There is no death, only a change of worlds."
