Our readingWhat is a korrent?

The true enemy is never a person but the anger, hatred and discrimination in human hearts

Drawn from what Thich Nhat Hanh said

What does compassion ask of us?under our view: It reaches even enemies, because hatred is the real enemy, not people

What Thich Nhat Hanh actually said

  1. Thich Nhat Hanh Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk
    We agreed that the true enemy of man is not man. Our enemy is not outside of us. Our true enemy is the anger, hatred, and discrimination that is found in the hearts and minds of man. We have to identify the real enemy and seek nonviolent ways to remove it.
