Alone we are vulnerable, but with brothers and sisters to work with, we can support each other. We cannot go to the ocean as a drop of water-we would evaporate before reaching our destination. But if we become a river, if we go as a Sangha, we are sure to arrive at the ocean. Taking refuge in a Sangha will allow the Sangha to carry us, to transport us, and we will suffer less. -Thich Nhat Hanh
After many months, the world’s largest collection of Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings, Ad free and searchable, is available. A deep bow of gratitude to the many hands that went into this project.
