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

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

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

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.

Awareness is always with us. We don't need to create it or achieve it - we just need to recognize what's already there.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

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.

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

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

Try to be mindful and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Each moment of clear seeing is a moment of freedom from the illusion of permanence, satisfaction, and self.

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

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

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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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