Mindfulness Quotes
These mindfulness quotes will inspire you and help you to have a better
understanding of how to practice mindfulness.
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. - Buddha
We
must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do
as much as we can. Then, whatever happens, we will have no regrets.
-
Dalai Lama
Be happy in the moment,
that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more. - Mother Teresa
You
must live in the present, launch yourself on ever wave, find
your
eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and
look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other
life but this. - Henry
David Thoreau
Two
thoughts cannot coexist at the same time: if the clear light of
mindfulness is present, there is no room for mental twilight. - Nyanaponika There
The
practice of mindfulness begins in the small, remote cave of your
unconscious mind and blossoms with the sunlight of your conscious life,
reaching far beyond the people and places you can see. - Earon Davis
Some
people do not know the difference between mindfulness and
concentration. They concentrate on what they're doing, thinking that is
being mindful. We can concentrate on what we are doing, but if we are
not mindful at the same time, with the ability to reflect on the
moment, then if somebody interferes with our concentration, we may blow
up, get carried away by anger at being frustrated. If we are mindful,
we are aware of the tendency to first concentrate and then to feel
anger when something interferes with that concentration. With
mindfulness we can concentrate when it is appropriate to do so and not
concentrate when it is appropriate not to do so. - Ajahn Sumedho
If the doors of
perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is,
infinite. - William Blake
In the end, just three
things matter:
How well we have lived.
How well we have loved.
How well we have learned
to let go.
Jack
Kornfield
