"First let us light the torch of awareness and learn again how to drink tea, eat, wash dishes, walk, sit, drive, and work in awareness.

We do not have to be swept along by circumstances. We are not just a leaf or a log in a rushing river. With awareness, each of our daily acts takes on a new meaning, and we discover that we are more than just machines, that our activities are not just mindless repetitions. We find that life is a miracle, the universe is a miracle, and we too are a miracle."

Reflections on Mindfulness, Concentration, and Insight

"When you practice being aware of your breathing, you generate the energy of mindfulness. This is called mindfulness of breathing.

With the practice of mindful walking and mindful breathing, you generate this powerful energy. It is a kind of light that shines forth and shows you clearly where you are and what is the next step you want to take."

"When we practice breathing in and we can say. 'I have arrived,' and we really arrive, that is success. To be fully present, one hundred percent alive, is a real achievement. The present moment has become our true home.

When we breathe out and say, 'I am home,' and we really feel at home, we no longer have to be so afraid. We really don't need to run any more."
