 Planting the Seeds of Happiness
We spend decades of our lives wanting happiness, peace, and contentment–without sowing the causes for that aspiration. Why did we not plant the seeds of the fruition we aspire to? Buddhist logic says that if you plant a lemon seed and pray for a mango fruit, logically it won’t work. But this is what we do: we wish for happiness without planting the seeds of happiness. – Khandro Rinpoche, “Planting the Seeds of Happiness” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Kindness Is Common Sense
Through kindness, through affection, through honesty, through truth and justice toward all others we ensure our own benefit. This is not a matter for complicated theorizing. It is a matter of common sense. – The Dalai Lama, “Consider Yourself a Tourist” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Whose Presence Do You Value?
Many of us have a mind that measures self-worth in terms of productivity. . . . We give ourselves no credit for just being present. And yet, if you asked the people you care about what they would like most from you, their answer is likely to be some version of “your presence.” – Jan Chozen Bays, “The Gift of Waiting” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Not an Easy Fit
Whether on the cushion or in the laboratory, Buddhism and science resist an easy fit. A good deal of Buddhism–even including, ironically, the very notion of buddhahood–doesn’t lend itself to scientific validation or materialist empiricism. Consequently, to make Buddhism fit with what is perceived to be our best knowledge of the world, much of what constitutes the Buddhist tradition itself needs to be dismissed. In the process, this rich tradition gets reduced to a set of concepts and techniques stripped of the context that gave them meaning. – Linda Heuman, “A New Way Forward” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Let Desire Melt Away
All we can say is that desire arises in the mind, stays in it for a while, and dissolves in it. The more we try to find any intrinsic characteristics in desire, the more it melts away under our gaze, as frost under the morning sun. – Matthieu Ricard, “Working With Desire” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
