Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet.

With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.

Without full awareness of breathing, there can be no development of meditative stability and understanding.

When we look deeply into the heart of a flower, we see clouds, sunshine, minerals, time, the earth, and everything else in the cosmos in it. Without clouds there could be no rain, and without rain there would be no flower.

May we awaken from forgetfulness and realize our true home.

The energy of compassion is very strong. We suffer. That is real. But we have learned not to get angry and not to allow ourselves to be carried by anger. We realize right away that that is fear. That is corruption.

Our smile will bring happiness to us and to those around us. Even if we spend a lot of money on gifts for everyone in our family, nothing we buy could give them as much happiness as the gift of our awareness, our smile. And this precious gift costs nothing.
