The present moment is the destination, the point to arrive at. Every time you breathe in and take a step, you arrive.
Thích Nhất Hạnh, "The Heart of Practice" in You Are Here, 35.
A great quote 😊
“Meditation is not a ritual conducted in a particular posture. It is not a painful exercise, or period of enforced boredom. And it is not a grim solemn obligation. Meditation is mindfulness. It is a new way of seeing and it is a form of play. Meditation is your friend. Come to regard it as such and resistance will disappear like smoke on a summer breeze. ~ Henepola Gunaratana: Mindfulness in Plain English (from the book: 365 Buddha)
The Dharma-Kaya of thine own mind thou shalt see; and seeing that, thou shalt have seen the All - the Vision Infinite, the Round of Death and Birth and the State of Freedom.
- Jetsun Milarepa
“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” ~ Pema Chödrön
