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.

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

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.

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

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.

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

Every time we become aware of a thought, as opposed to being lost in a thought, we experience that opening of the mind.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive in the present moment.

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

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

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

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

Life is available only in the present moment.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

The signs of practice are not in extraordinary experiences but in extraordinary awareness of ordinary experiences.

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.

This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

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

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

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