I know it's sounds crazy, but we each have a little Trump plant growing in us. We have to work very hard to cultivate our garden in order to grow nourishing produce instead of poisonous orange fruit. That's how we triumph over pain and suffering. #thichnhathanh #plumvillage

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

As students of TNH, how do we react to the suffering caused by Trump? TNH notes that NOT doing something can be violence, such as NOT arresting someone who has hurt others. Nonviolence action arises from the compassionate understanding of all of us. There is no other. #thichnhathanh #plumvillage

As students of TNH, how do we react to the suffering caused by Trump? Nonviolence does not mean passivity. "The foundation of nonviolent action is understanding and compassion. When you have understanding and compassion in your heart everything you do will be nonviolent." #thichnhathanh #plumvillage
