One moment can change a day, one day can change a life, and one life can change the world.

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

Each moment of noting is a moment of purification, a moment of cultivating the path.

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

Breathing in, there is only the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.

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

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

There are many ways to meditate. But at the heart of them all is mindfulness.

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

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.

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

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

The key to transformation is not to fight with our experience but to open to it with awareness.

Try to be mindful and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool.

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.

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.

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

The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.

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

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

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.

Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.

The practice of mindfulness is simply to bring awareness to what we are doing, what we are saying, and what we are thinking.

Impermanence, suffering, and non-self are not philosophical concepts but realities to be directly perceived through mindfulness practice.

Every time we become aware of a thought, as opposed to being lost in a thought, we experience that opening of the mind.

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment.

When you note pain, you should not dwell on the thought, "I feel pain." Simply recognize the presence of pain.

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

Just know what is happening in your mind - not happy or sad about it, not attached. If you suffer, see it, know it, be empty.

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.

The Buddha's teachings are not about abandoning our lives but about bringing the fullness of our attention to our lives.

What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now.

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.

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

The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments.

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

In the spiritual world there are no time divisions such as the past, present and future; for they have contracted themselves into a single moment of the present where life quivers in its true sense.

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.

Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

The practice of mindfulness transforms the mind from a place of suffering into an instrument of enlightenment.

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

Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?

Each breath is a new beginning, a fresh opportunity to awaken.

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

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Mindfulness is not just bare attention but wise attention that leads to understanding and insight.

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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our attention.

Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what's happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what's happening.

Our basic nature is pure awareness that simply cognizes experience. Everything else is temporary and adventitious.

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

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

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.

Each moment of mindfulness is a moment of purification.

When you note pain, you are not trying to make it go away. You are trying to understand its true nature.

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

Observe the reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.

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

The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment.
