Be mindful 24 hours a day, not just during the one hour you may allot for formal meditation or reading scripture and reciting prayers. Each act must be carried out in mindfulness.

Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

If you really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile?

Dealing with our overweight - or with any of our life's difficulties, for that matter - is not a battle to be fought. Instead, we must learn how to make friends with our hardships and challenges. They are there to help us; they are natural opportunities for deeper understanding and transformation, brining us more joy and peace as we learn to work with them.

When you begin to see that your enemy is suffering, that is the beginning of insight.

You have to do it by yourself. You can not do it alone.

As a human being, you have the right to get angry; but as a practitioner, you do not have the right to stop practicing.
