Happiness is not an individual matter.

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.

Anger is like a flame blazing up and consuming our self-control, making us think, say, and do things that we will probably regret later.

Walk so that your footprints bear only the marks of peaceful joy and complete freedom. To do this you have to learn to let go. Let go of your sorrows, let go of your worries. That is the secret of walking meditation.

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

We may not have done anything but when we are relaxed, when we are peaceful, when we are able to smile and not to be violent in the way we look at the system, at that moment there is a change already in the world.

You can only recognize your happiness against the background of suffering.
