Thich Nhat Hanh Quotes

There Are Many People Who In The Name Of Faith Or Love Persecute Countless People Around Them. If I Believe That My Notion About God, About Happiness, About Nirvana Is Perfect, I Want Very Much To Impose That Notion On You. I Will Say That If You Don't Believe As I Do, You Will Not Be Happy. I Will Do Everything I Can To Impose My Notions On You, And Therefore I Will Destroy You. I Will Make You Unhappy For The Whole Of Your Life. We Will Destroy Each Other In The Name Of Faith, In The Name Of Love, Just Because Of The Fact That The Objects Of Our Faith And Of Our Love Are Not True Insight, Are Not Direct Experience Of Suffering And Of Happiness; They Are Just Notions And Ideas.
