“We think that when we are not doing anything we are wasting our time; that is not true. Our time is first of all for us to be. To be what? To be alive, to be peace, to be joy, to be loving. And that is what the world needs the most. So we train ourselves in order to be. And if you know the art of being peace, then you have the ground for every action...because the ground for action is being. And the quality of being determines the quality of doing. Action must be based on non-action.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
