Zenfully Quool Quotes – Thich Nhat Hanh
SIXTH BODY: THE CONTINUATION BODY
Throughout our life we produce energy.
We say things and do things, and every thought, every word,
and every act carries our signature.
What we produce as thoughts, as speech, as action,
continues to influence the world,
and that is our continuation body.
Our actions carry us into the future.
We are like stars whose light energy continues to radiate
across the cosmos millions of years after they become extinct.

Thay is saying
the perspective of how a scientist would describe
how the energy our bodies radiates forever more.
Energy, they say, can’t be destroyed, it can only transform.
Even though in a ‘Spiritual perspective’…
Our True Nature is not our bodies, thoughts, actions, beliefs,
what makes us good or bad…
‘We’ are none of these….
Yet,
Those are the only attributes others can relate to.
Even if one never wrote or spoke of deep inspiring Wisdoms…
You would be remembered by how you carried yourself.
Were you quick to smile, frown, laugh or lash out? …
Kind or grumpy, selfless or selfish…
And these are what others, friends and family will
cherish or lament about for countless generations.
In this way, even though the body dies…
One’s legacy lives on.
Make it a good one.
The Buddha was not his body ether,
But his teachings are timeless.
Even though it took over 400 years before his spoken words
were transcribed into texts…
These texts have lived on ever since to inspire countless others
towards the Liberation of their inherent confusion,
pain and suffering.
The main reason I write so much is…
It helps me solidify my own perspectives.
I’m no Buddha…
but,
By the time I get to ‘move on’…
The depths of perception crafted from a lifetime of Practice
could be of some value to others that are still at
the cross roads of ‘the Path’ that I was
when I wrote some of my
‘Inspiring Spiritual Insights’.
This is just but one reason for me to continue to
‘deepen my perspectives’.
The closer towards the full fruition of ‘the Path’ one gets…
The more these ‘Inspiring Spiritual Insights’
will naturally radiate to others…
This cycle is a natural manifestation of ‘Divinity’.
Grace is the effortless flow that the Tao speaks of…
Allow this natural flow to carry you away from
the mundane chaos of life…
Towards the profound Awakening of Liberation.
The degree of Equanimity one maintains during
life’s random challenges
is the metric that reveals how far away we are.
This state of well being is in it’s self
all the reason one needs to say on …
‘the Path’.
