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.

In a mind clear as still water, even the waves, breaking, are reflecting its light.

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

The more clearly you see the arising and passing of phenomena, the less you will be attached to them.

The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the practice of meditation.

The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.

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.

The trouble is, you think you have time.

The practice of mindfulness is simply to bring awareness to what we are doing, what we are saying, and what we are thinking.

The most important factor in achieving happiness is the mind. Happiness and suffering are mental states and therefore depend on the mind.

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 path of practice requires both faith and wisdom, both devotion and understanding.

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.

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

The Buddha taught that wealth does not bring happiness and security. The pursuit of wealth is a matter of living in balance.

The practice is like peeling an onion. Layer after layer of delusion is removed through continuous mindfulness.

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.

The way to change the world is to change your own mind.

Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

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

The more you understand, the more you love; the more you love, the more you understand.

When dharma fills your body and mind, you realize that something is missing.

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

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

The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet.

To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.

Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Meditation is not an escape from reality but a way to understand reality as it truly is.

The nature of mind is like a mirror. It is not affected by whatever appears in it, yet it never fails to reflect everything perfectly.

The truth of suffering is not to be feared but to be understood through direct observation.

The secret of happiness is to want what you already have.

The great gift of meditation is that it returns us to the simplicity of our own being.

Nothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change. Being is always becoming.
