“Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth. . . . This is the real message of love.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
This week, we remember Thich Nhat Hanh and his incredible contributions to the world with one of his quotes. In his 95 years, Thich Nhat Hanh worked to share methods of mindfulness and speak out for peace around the world, encouraging others to join the path with him.
In the podcast we explore how deep love for someone — friend, family, partner, pet, or anyone — expands to encompass everything. Extraordinarily, these moments of deep love not only affect us when we feel it, but also affect those who receive it. These moments of love become moments of unity, eliminating separation between us and everything around us.
