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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

The perfect moment is this one, not the one you're waiting for.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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