No Coming, No Going - Plum Village Song - Thich Nhat Hanh 

No Coming, No Going
Plum Village Song
Thich Nhat Hanh and the Wake Up Community
Lyrics
No coming, no going
No after, no before
I hold you close to me
I release you to be so free
Because I am in you
And you are in me
Because I am in you
And you are in me
Going Home
There is no coming and no going, for we are always with you and you, with us. When we go home and we remember to return to our breathing, we know that friends all over the world are breathing too. Any time we like, we can take refuge in the practices of conscious breathing, mindful eating, loving speech, and many other wonderful practices. When we do, we feel connected and not alone. We become as large as our community - the Sangha Body.
Let us continue our practice as we return to our homes, our families and society. As we have learned to live in harmony with the Sangha in Plum Village, we can also cultivate harmony in our families and in society. As we have learned to understand and appreciate our friends in the practice, we can also learn to understand and appreciate our co-workers and our neighbors. We can practice loving speech with strangers on the city bus, just as we do with the sisters and brothers at Plum Village. Mindfulness practice is everywhere we go.
