As my wise partner @b.p.wcislo said: “Your biggest superpower is to be able to control your reactions”. At the end, everything can be a chaos, we can be going through a crisis or the most biggest challenge, but if we are able to not be disturbed by the outside waves, we will live in a constant state of peace. Your peace is the biggest gift you give to the world... the whole surrounding universe changes when one is at peace. #peace #equanimity #upeksha #equanimityisyoga #shanti #selfknowledge #svadhyaya #selfobservation #practicekindnessandcompassion https://www.instagram.com/luanafarayoga/p/ByQAZRbHJu3/?igshid=qon732kt9k9z
Equanimity: Wisdom of Non-Discrimination | Thich Nhat Hanh (short teaching video)
In this short teaching video from the Plum Village App https://plumvillage.app/ Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us about Upeksha -- equanimity, the wisdom of non-discrimination.

The word for loving-kindness in Sanskrit is Maitri. It's the art of developing an unconditional friendliness toward every part of our sweet selves—the tired, the mending, the broken, the wonderful, the always-changing. La aceptación incondicional de nuestra humanidad: maitri.~#womenwhorunwiththewolves #loveis #maitri #karuna #upeksha https://www.instagram.com/p/BvoE9hBla5_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ecrjujxbl02x
Falling in love is easy, but staying in love takes work. Thich Nhat Hanh offers advice for cultivating a relationship that’s loving and strong.
Falling in love is easy, but staying in love takes work. Thich Nhat Hanh offers advice for cultivating a relationship that’s loving and strong.
To commit to another person is to embark on a very adventurous journey. There is no one “right person” who will make it easier. You must be very wise and patient to keep your love alive, so that it will last for a long time.
The first year of a committed relationship reveals how difficult it is. When you first commit to someone, you have a beautiful image of them, and you commit to that image rather than the person. When you live with them twenty-four hours a day, you begin to discover that the reality of the other person doesn’t quite correspond with the image you have of them. Sometimes you’re disappointed.
In the beginning of a relationship, you’re very passionate. But that passion may only last a short time—maybe six months, a year, or two years. Then, if you’re not skillful, if you don’t practice mindfulness, concentration, and insight, suffering will be born in you and in the other person. When you see someone else, you might think you’d be happier with them. In Vietnam, there is a saying: “Standing on top of one mountain and gazing at the top of another, you think you’d rather be standing on the other mountain.”

To cultivate equanimity we practice catching ourselves when we feel attraction or aversion, before it hardens into grasping or negativity.
