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

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.

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

Meditation is not about trying to change ourselves. Meditation is about being aware of what is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The idea of Zen is to catch life as it flows. There is nothing extraordinary or mysterious about Zen. I raise my hand; I take a book from the other side of the desk; I hear the boys playing ball outside my window; I see the clouds blown away beyond the neighboring wood: all these I do in Zen.

The more precisely you note, the more clearly you understand. The more clearly you understand, the stronger your insight becomes.

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.

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

The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.

The practice of mindfulness leads naturally to concentration. Concentration leads naturally to wisdom.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Life is available only in the present moment.

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

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

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

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.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly.

The practice is not about achieving special states but about seeing ordinary experience with extraordinary clarity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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

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

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.

The past is for learning from, not for living in.

The practice of mindfulness begins in the small, remote cave of your unconscious mind and blossoms with the sunlight of your conscious life.

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

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