The Buddha said this: “The object of your practice should first of all be yourself. Your love for the other, your ability to love another person, depends on your ability to love yourself.” If you are not able to take care of yourself, if you are not able to accept yourself, how could you accept another person and how could you love him or her? So it is necessary to come back to yourself in order to be able to achieve the transformation.

Overall a pick though I do wish it had been a bit longer and gone deeper into the substance of what he was saying. I was settled down to listen and learn when the audiobook ended so quickly and I was so surprised that was it. I like his calm non patronising style linking Buddhism with secular spirituality but I‘d have liked something a bit more substantial. #wintergames #merryreaders #tbrread @Clwojick @StayCurious

Ah...! Who doesn't love a bit of Thich Nhat Hanh, eh? Beauty paradigm shifting perspectives on what it is to truly love. Very good.

“We are surrounded by miracles, but we have to recognize them; otherwise there is no life.”

Meditative and insightful, read this years ago and come back to it once and a while to refresh. Great way to practice awareness in the present. My favorite topics are: recognizing the presence of others, deep listening, and caring for your pain.

We can all get in our heads - it helps to remember to embrace the beautiful things too, no matter how small. ✨

Karin1 Hello, @Kaye :) I am from Slovenia. And thank You for noticing :) 6y
Kaye How about that ? Pretty exciting to have someone from so far away. Your English seems wonderful. Do you prefer reading in one language over another ? 6y
Karin1 Thank You, dear Kaye :) Well, I can't say. I am a bookworm, so I like a good story. It doesn't matter if it is in English or Slovene language. Except of science fiction :P 6y
