Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.
Gautama BuddhaHow does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama BuddhaIn the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practising meditation.
Gautama Buddha
