Stopping is the basic Buddhist practice of meditation. You stop running. You stop struggling.
You allow yourself to rest, to heal, to calm.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending. — Thich Nhat Hanh (1926–2022)

“Why do we commit ourselves to only one idea of happiness? If we let go of that idea, happiness will come to us from every direction."
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Find happines in simple things; raindrops in a stream, a warm sunrise, or slowing washing your hands.

Hatred grew from ideas, thoughts and words, to what became Auschwitz’s horror.

The Plum Village teachings remind us: speak kindly, listen deeply, honour life, and live responsibly.

Mindfulness guards against such dehumanisation.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Notice each sip of water—body, mind and breath aligned—so the act becomes conscious, focused awareness rather than a mere mouth motion.
