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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Life is available only in the present moment.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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