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

Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

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

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

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.

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

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

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

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

The whole path of mindfulness is about letting go. We let go of our attachment to our views, our attachment to our opinions, our attachment to our ideas.

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

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

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

The past is just a memory. The future is just a dream. Be here now.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

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

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

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

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

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

Life is available only in the present moment.

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.

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.

Every moment of mindfulness is a step on the path to liberation. Each step is valuable, no matter how small.

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

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

The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive in the present moment.

Mindfulness is the key to transformation. It enables us to see our experience as it really is, free from distortion and bias.

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

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

Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite. It actually takes guts.

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

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

Mindfulness means keeping one's consciousness alive to the present reality.

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

When we rest in awareness, we discover a peace that is always present, regardless of circumstances.

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

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.

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

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.

Mindfulness is being aware of what's going on, not trying to control what's going on.

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.

Each moment of clear seeing is a moment of freedom from the illusion of permanence, satisfaction, and self.

Life is nothing but a continuous chain of sensations. Pleasant or unpleasant, observe them objectively.

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

The difference between being caught in thoughts and being mindful of thoughts is like the difference between being in a movie and watching a movie.

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

When walking, just walk. When sitting, just sit. Above all, don't wobble.

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.

Past thoughts are traceless, clear, and empty. Future thoughts are unborn and fresh. The present moment abides naturally and unconstructed.

Just observe whatever arises. Don't try to create anything, and don't reject anything.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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