A Gift of Dharma for 4.27.11
Today’s quote is another from the Most Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, whom I previously quoted and wrote a little bio for here. This is it:
Mindfulness brings concentration. Concentration brings insight. Insight liberates you from your ignorance, your anger, your craving. When you are free from your afflictions, happiness becomes possible. How can you be happy when you are overloaded with anger, ignorance, and craving? That is why the insight that can liberate you from these afflictions is the key to happiness. There are many conditions of happiness that are present, but people don’t recognize them because they are not mindful.
