“Each place is the right place–the place where I now am can be a sacred space. (3)”
Ravi Ravindra (The Wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras: A New Translation and Guide by Ravi Ravindra)
“You have to remember one life, one death–this one! To enter fully the day, the hour, the moment whether it appears as life or death, whether we catch it on the inbreath or outbreath, requires only a moment, this moment. And along with it all the mindfulness we can muster, and each stage of our ongoing birth, and the confident joy of our inherent luminosity. (24)”
Stephen Levine (A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last)
“As we encounter new experiences with a mindful and wise attention, we discover that one of three things will happen to our new experience: it will go away, it will stay the same, or it will get more intense. whever happens does not really matter.”
Jack Kornfield (A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life)
“[Mindfulness] is not concerned with anything transcendent or divine. It serves as an antidote to theism, a cure for sentimental piety, a scalpel for excising the tumor of metaphysical belief. (130)”

“To be mindful of social phenomena is thus to identify more clearly hatred, greed, and delusion as well as the seeds of wisdom and compassion both around us and in us.”
