The Pocket by Thich Nhat Hanh "A bodhisattva is someone who is awake, mindful and motivated by a desire to help others to wake up. The artist, the actor, the filmmaker, the novelist may be inspired by a desire to become a bodhisattva, helping people to touch the seed of joy, of peace, of happiness within themselves. The artist can do all this. Nothing can be com- pared with that kind of joy, knowing that your life on earth is beautiful and is helpful. One day in New York City I told a Buddhist scholar about my prac- tice of mindfulness in the vegeta- ble garden. She said, "You should not spend your time growing vege- tables. You should spend more time writing poems. Your poems are so beautiful." I told her, "If I don't grow lettuce, I can't write poems." When I'm taking care of the lettuce or watering my garden I do it in a mode of "nonthinking." Your art is conceived in the depths of your consciousness while you're not thinking about it. The moment when you express it is only a mo- ment of birth... when you allow the child inside you to grow so your masterpiece can contain insight, understanding and compassion. A work of art can help people under- stand the nature of their suffering. Creating a work of art can be an act of love. That act of love nouri- shes you and nourishes others." ©KhaultiSyahi Are you Awake and mindful? #meditation #Truth #woke #Life #buddha #khaultisyahi #follow4follow
