Mu & thich Nhat

[Guest guest]

Please call me by my true names,

so I can wake up

and the door of my heart

could be left open,

the door of compassion.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

But even Thich Nhat Hanh would suggest walking thorugh that door of

compassion and and helping a suffering soul...feeding a hungry

person, or giving shelter to a refugee.

The Dalai Lama did not choose to "do nothing" when Tibet was invaded

by China. Doing nothing has never been the ultimate objective of

Buddhist philosophy. I think it wrong to take the lovely writing of

Thich Nhat Hanh, and use it as an endorsement of "non-action."

There is a time to be motionless and a time to be in motion. I am

tired. I am going to go to sleep soon.

Blessings,
