Pain Is Inevitable, Suffering Is Not.

When You Have Learned Compassion For Yourself, Compassion For Others Is Automatic.

Mindfulness Helps Us Freeze The Frame So That We Can Become Aware Of Our Sensations And Experiences As They Are, Without The Distorting Coloration Of Socially Conditioned Responses Or Habitual Reactions.

You Can Only Have Bliss If You Don't Chase It.

Prayer And Contemplation Are Both Exercises In Concentration. The Normal Deluge Of Conscious Thought Is Restricted And The Mind Is Brought To One Conscious Area Of Operation. The Results Are Those You Find In Any Concentrative Practice: Deep Calm, A Physiological Slowing Of The Metabolism And A Sense Of Peace And Wellbeing

Each Step Along The Buddha's Path To Happiness Requires Practising Mindfulness Until It Becomes Part Of Your Daily Life.
