Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.

To look for total satisfaction in oneself is a futile endeavor. Since everything changes from moment to moment, where can self and where can satisfaction be found? Everybody is unhappy simply because of unfilled desire. Everybody is looking for something that isn't available.

"Wholeheartedly" means that we give our time, love, and energy unstintingly.

The heart is always the place to go. Go home into your heart, where there is warmth, appreciation, gratitude and contentment

It is often thought that the Buddha's doctrine teaches us that suffering will disappear if one has meditated long enough, or if one sees everything differently. It is not that at all. Suffering isn't going to go away; the one who suffers is going to go away.

A truly happy person is someone who is joyfully independent of outer conditions.

Trying to achieve something in the spiritual world is just as foolish as trying to achieve something in the material world. There's nothing to achieve. There's only letting go. As we let go, more and more, of ego identifications, desires, and support systems, bliss will arise.
