Piece of Bread | Thich Nhat Hanh | Plum Village App #Shorts

When you pick up a piece of bread

you do not think
of the past, of the future

we just touch the piece of bread, deeply.

If you look deeply into the piece
of bread, you see everything in it.

And the piece of bread
you hold in your hand is

the body of the cosmos.

And with a little bit of mindfulness
you can see

that the piece of bread is
an ambassador of the cosmos,

coming to you.

And if you can see the piece of bread

in it's true nature, and then

you can put it in your mouth.

Don't put anything else
in your mouth, like your projects,

your fear, your anger, it's not healthy.

Just put the bread.

And when you chew the bread,
just chew the bread.

Mindfully, with joy.

Don't chew your sorrow, your anger.

It's not good for your health.
