My New Man…Thich Nhat Hanh
Don’t worry, Eckhart, you are still my main spiritual-teaching kinda guy, but I must admit to a new love. I stumbled across a great site that sells the most amazing Buddhist statues, jewelry and it has a FUN name, to boot. Visit BigHappyBuddha.com and check it out for yourself. Anyway, they have this daily Buddhist you can sign up for and I did. The featured writer since I signed up has been Thich Nhat Hanh and I am smitten! He lasers into the core of just what I need to hear every single day. I have been sharing some of his quotes on Facebook and Twitter and now you have my secret source.
If any of you have discovered him, let me know!, let’s chat Thich Nhat Hanh!
Myself, I want to be informed about what is going on in the world. I want to be informed, but that does not mean that I have to listen to the news three times a day. I think there is some kind of vacuum in us we want to fill up; that is why we buy so many newspapers and magazines and why we view so much television. We do not need that much information. I think maybe five minutes daily is enough. Sometime we can survive several months without any news bulletins. And you have friends who can tell you what is important that has happened.
