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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

When we look directly at our thoughts, they dissolve like bubbles in water.

The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive 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.

The practice of mindfulness transforms the mind from a place of suffering into an instrument of enlightenment.

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

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

Smile, breathe, and go slowly.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Each moment of mindfulness is a moment of purification.

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

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

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

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

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

The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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