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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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

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

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

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

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

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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