Why Are We Here?

Thich Nhat Hanh in Deer Park

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is well known for peace efforts during the war in Vietnam. Since then, and probably before, he has been teaching about interbeing. He says that we interare with everything in the cosmos. Here is a quote illustrating why we are here.

We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.
― Thich Nhat Hanh

If you like this quote, please share it. That way, many people can benefit and “awaken from our illusion of separateness.”

I highly recommend this book. It is always by my bedside.
