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

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

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.

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

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

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

Smile, breathe, and go slowly.

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

When you see forms or hear sounds fully engaging body-and-mind, you intuit dharma intimately.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Sensations are not your enemy. They are your teacher. Through observing them, you understand the truth of existence.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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