What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying.

In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.

You do not suffer because things are impermanent. You suffer because things are impermanent and you think they are permanent.

When we eat mindfully, we consume exactly what we need to keep our bodies, our minds, and the Earth healthy. When we practice like this, we reduce suffering for ourselves and for others.
