Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance
       of the present experience.
It isn't more complicated than that.
It is opening to or receiving the present 
   moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is,  without either
clinging to it or rejecting it. 
         
                 - Sylvia Boorstein

 Your worst enemy cannot harm
you as much as your own
unguarded thoughts.
            
                   - The Buddha

To practice Buddhism is to wage
a struggle between the
negative and positive
forces in your mind.
            
             -  Dalai Lama

For as long as space endures,
And for as long as living beings remain,
until then may I too abide,
to dispel the misery of the world.

               - Shantideva

 Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
What you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing.
  If you haven't wept deeply, 
 you haven't begun to meditate.

-Ajhan Chah

The root word "buddh" means
to wake up, to know,
to understand.

          - Thich Nhat Hanh
