    About this ebook

    Mindfulness is the quality of fullness of attention, immediacy, non-distraction. In that sense, it is the key to life.
    —Sharon Salzberg
     
    Used by millions of people all over the world, mindfulness is an ancient practice rooted in Buddhism, but present in all world religions. It offers a much-needed antidote to the stressful demands and distractions of our fast-paced world. This thoughtfully curated collection includes hundreds of meaningful quotations that speak to some aspect of mindfulness.
     
    Collected from scholars, philosophers, writers, religious leaders, actors, and activists, the quotes are grouped in categories such as Live Each Day; Free Your Mind; Find Your Inner Peace; Accept Change; and Seek Simplicity. Each quotation is aimed at helping us grasp and implement mindfulness in our own lives.
     
    In this book:
    • Lao Tzu reflects on the peace of living in the present.
    • Jon Kabat-Zinn sheds light on the meaning of meditation. 
    • Mother Teresa invites us to find happiness in each moment.
    • Maya Angelou advises us to forsake our fears.
    • Martin Luther King Jr. reveals why love will always trump hate.
    • Henry David Thoreau marvels at the wonders of nature.
    • Virginia Woolf ponders the meaning of happiness.
    • Pope Francis extols the virtue of simplicity.
    • The Dalai Lama reflects on the essence of kindness.
     
    Filled with insight as well as practical wisdom, Quotes for Mindfulness invites us to learn more about this age-old practice, and hopefully gain some measure of wisdom and a more mindful approach to each sacred moment of our lives.
