Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now. ~Jon Kabat-Zinn
If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
The value of relationship is not that how much you feel happy with someone… but it is that how much someone feels lonely without you. ~sms2everyone
Ceasing to do evil, cultivating the good, purifying the heart: this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
A flower falls even though we love it and a weed grows even though we do not love it. ~ Dogen Zenji
Beauty that comes from inside is the light of the world.
When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health,
and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew
how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us!
Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning
our days and nights into a hellish turmoil. ~Dale Carnegie
If you’re looking for inner peace from the outside world, you’re not going to get that. The inner peace starts with looking at you from the inside. Understanding that everything that comes to you is what you are. Everything from friends to boyfriends to the job you get – it’s all a direct reflection of what you are on the inside. ~ Mary J. Blige
