The Faith & Politics Institute's Weekly Reflection

Submitted by secretary on October 14, 2007 - 1:57am.

For the Week of April 24, 2006

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look into the reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason or arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

On day in Paris, I gave a lecture about not blaming the lettuce. After the talk, I was doing walking meditation by myself, and when I turned the corner of a building, I overhead an eight-year-old girl telling her mother, "Mommy, remember to water me. I am you lettuce." I was so pleased that she had understood my point completely. Then I heard her mother reply, "Yes, my daughter, and I am your lettuce also. So please don't forget to water me too." Mother and daughter practicing together. It was very beautiful.

--Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life (Bantam, 1992)
