 Live Life in Full
Death is all around us, everywhere. For the most part–following the lead of our culture–we avoid it. But if we do open our hearts to this fact of our lives, it can be a great help to us. It can teach us how to live. – Larry Rosenberg, “Only the Practice of Dharma Can Help Us at the Time of Death” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Cultivating Openness
When we open our hearts and our minds completely, we are in a place where we can experience something new, a new truth, a new reality, a miracle that we haven’t experienced in the past. – Anam Thubten, “How a Tomato Opened My Mind “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Transcending our own Views
If we take something to be the truth, we may cling to it so much that even if the truth comes and knocks at our door, we won’t want to let it in. We have to be able to transcend our previous knowledge the way we climb up a ladder. If we are on the fifth rung and think that we are very high, there is no hope for us to step up to the sixth. We must learn to transcend our own views. – Thich Nhat Hanh, “The Heart Sutra” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Clear Thinking
Debating trains you to be clear and gives you an analytical mind. When you study Buddhism you can analyze what really makes sense rather than simply memorizing. And to daily life, you bring skills in analysis and clear thinking. – Rinchen Khando Choegyal, “Standing as Equals” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Spreading Merit
When a candle is lit in a dark room, it illuminates the room to some extent, but its power is limited. But if you use the same candle to light another candle, the total brightness increases. If you continue to do this, you can fill the room with brilliant illumination. The idea of transferring merit to others is like this. If we keep our own light selfishly hidden, it will only provide a limited amount of illumination. – Master Sheng Yen, “Rich Generosity” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Practicing With Loss
Loss is a fact of life. Impermanence is everywhere we look. We are all going to suffer our losses. How we deal with these losses is what makes all the difference. For it is not what happens to us that determines our character, our experience, our karma, and our destiny, but how we relate to what happens. – Lama Surya Das, “Practicing With Loss” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Highest Aspiration
It’s one thing to practice to get some relief from anxiety, to calm the mind–all of which is certainly legitimate–but it’s practicing Zen on a very superficial level. From the Zen Buddhist point of view this is a very low aspiration. The highest aspiration is the desire for awakening. – Philip Kapleau Roshi, “Life with a Capital ‘L'” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
