Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

When mindfulness and concentration are strong, insight into the three characteristics naturally unfolds.

Our task is to learn to see clearly what is happening in each moment, rather than be lost in our reactions and judgments.

Concentration is a cornerstone of mindfulness practice. Your mindfulness will only be as robust as your capacity to ground your attention in the present moment.

The signs of practice are not in extraordinary experiences but in extraordinary awareness of ordinary experiences.

The true purpose of Zen is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes.

The color of the mountains is Buddha's body; the sound of running water is his great speech.

When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.

Mindfulness is the key to the present moment. Without it we cannot see the world clearly, and we cannot make the wisest choices in our lives.

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay.

Study the Buddha's teaching which is present in every moment.

Every moment is a fresh beginning. Every breath is a new chance.

Awareness is the basis, or what you might call the "support," of the mind. It is steady and unchanging, like the pole to which the flag of ordinary consciousness is attached.

Moment after moment, completely devote yourself to listening to your inner voice.

When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.

Mindfulness is attention to life, and life itself is sacred.

Life is available only in the present moment.

Awareness is always with us. We don't need to create it or achieve it - we just need to recognize what's already there.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Mindfulness is being aware of what is happening right now, without wishing it were different.

When mindfulness is weak, defilements are strong; when mindfulness is strong, defilements are weak.

Meditation is not about getting away from it all. It's about getting into it all.

Meditation is not an escape from life but a way to fully engage with life.

If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence.

When mindfulness becomes continuous, the distinction between the observer and the observed begins to break down.

When you note effectively, there is no time for defilements to arise. The mind becomes pure through noting.

The perfect moment is this one, not the one you're waiting for.

Be happy at the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.

The technique of self-observation is the technique of observing the reality about oneself at the experiential level.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.

Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

When we look directly at our thoughts, they dissolve like bubbles in water.

The practice of mindfulness is simple: whatever you experience, you observe and note it.

The awareness that you are here, right now, is the ultimate fact.

Self-awareness is the key to freedom. The more we understand ourselves, the more we understand how to be free.

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

Mindfulness is the quality and power of mind that is aware of what's happening—without judgment and without interference.

In the moment of pure noting, there is no self - only the knowing and the known.

Mindfulness is the gentle effort to be continuously present with experience.

Every sensation shares the same characteristic - arising, passing. Arising, passing. Learn to observe objectively.

Through continuous mindfulness practice, the true nature of physical and mental phenomena becomes clear.

In the spring, hundreds of flowers; in autumn, a harvest moon; in the summer, a refreshing breeze; in winter, snow will accompany you. If useless things do not hang in your mind, any season is a good season for you.

This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.

The real purpose of Zen is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes.

Don't expect or desire anything. Just keep noting whatever arises in the present moment.

We can learn to be present with whatever is happening in our lives, and in this way, we can begin to transform our relationship to difficulty.

The four foundations of mindfulness are not separate practices but different aspects of the same practice of clear awareness.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.

The past is gone, the future is not yet here. Live in the present moment with awareness.

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.

When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.

Whatever we do, we should see ourselves. Reading books doesn't show us our defilements. Watch yourself. Watch your mind.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.
