Mindfulness can change everything by helping you to really be there and enjoy whatever you’re doing.

While we can’t avoid all the suffering in life, we can suffer much less by not watering the seeds of suffering inside us.

One unnecessary suffering that we can let go of is the suffering of fear.

The Buddha said that nothing can survive without food. This is true, not just for the physical existence of living beings, but also for states of mind. Love needs to be nurtured and fed to survive; and our suffering also survives because we enable and feed it. We ruminate on suffering, regret, and sorrow.

Mindfulness is for making us aware of what is happening now. Not only are there always conditions of happiness present in me, but they are also all around

The more we learn about the art of suffering well, the less suffering there will be in the world.

We need to find the many small joys that life has to offer and help them grow.

When we bring our mind home to our body, something wonderful happens; our mental discourse stops its chattering.

Both suffering and happiness are of an organic nature, which means they are both transitory; they are always changing.
