Don't Cover It Up with Consumption | Thich Nhat Hanh | #shorts

Most people try to...

to cover up the suffering inside by

the practice of consumption.

We read magazines, we watch television,

we try...

we find something to eat,

or listen to the music.

We pick up the phone to talk.

Everything we do,

we do because

we hope that by doing these things, we...

we don't have to confront the suffering in us.

And we allow that pain to continue to grow in us.

So the practice of mindfulness

help us to go home to the present moment.

Even the moment is not pleasant,

but it is in that very moment

that we can understand the suffering.
