Each moment of mindfulness is a moment of purification.

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

The only way to experience truth is to look within, to observe oneself.

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

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.

Life is available only in the present moment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The five aggregates are not a theoretical model but a description of lived experience to be investigated through mindfulness.

The quality of every moment depends on the state of our minds.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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