Welcome to Litsy!

Saturday evening meditation

I found out that Thich Nhat Hanh passed away recently and feel really sad about it - he was absolutely brilliant and this book of his is probably the most influential (on me at least) of all the books I've ever read. I wanted to share💛

Okie dokie - partaking in my 1st proper Litsy ~ thing ~ (idk what you'd call this sorry haha)

I have read 10 books so far this year:

0% = black/indigenous
30% = nbpoc
10% = lgbtqia+

I am VERY much looking to improve these stats and I'm excited to do so!! I already have a couple of books that should be arriving soon that will allow me to make a good start😊

I am loving learning more about Buddhism & this book is one that I adored. Thich Nhat Hanh writes so clearly yet so poetically; whenever I read anything by him (or about Buddhism in general tbh) I'm brought such a sense of calm. I think I'm going to return to at least sections of this one again and again⭐

Great 101 and advanced concept book

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time reading this book and I take away something new each time.

Taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of Cambodia, from its vibrant and warm culture to the incredible temples~~all accompanied by this lovely little book, which is helping me dive into the spirituality of Buddhist belief and understand this all on a much deeper level. Truly humbled and in love with this side of the world! #booksaroundtheworld

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.

Our suffering is holy if we embrace it and look deeply into it. If we don't, it isn't holy at all. We just drown in the ocean of our own suffering.
