Staying In The Moment - Helping Students Achieve More Through Mindfulness Meditation - Marc Marshall
Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.
Hanh Nhat Thich, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.
Pema Chödrön
Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.
Marcus Aurelius
If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.
Amit Ray
Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.
Mother Teresa
Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).
James Baraz
Two thoughts cannot coexist at the same time: If the clear light of mindfulness is present, there is no room for mental twilight.
Nyanaponika Thera
Introduction
Once there was a poor man who traveled the countryside begging for food and money. He had lived this way for years and had grown to accept his struggles as his destiny. One day as he was resting in a park, he came across an old friend who he had not seen for years. The two of them spent the morning talking and catching up on each other’s lives. When it was about time to part, the friend invited the poor man home for dinner. The friend was a very successful trader who enjoyed a life of luxury. When the poor man arrived, the two men spent the evening sharing stories, laughing, eating, and drinking. It got late and the friend saw that the poor man had too much to drink, so he invited him to sleep over.
While the poor man was sleeping, the friend sneaked into his room and took his robe. Within the lining of the robe, he sewed a precious jewel. The next morning, the poor man left the home and went on his way, not knowing what his friend had done. Years later, the two men crossed paths again. The friend shook his head when he looked at the poor man. It was obvious to him that, since their last meeting, the poor man had continued to live his impoverished existence, even though he had in his possession a priceless jewel. This version of the Buddhist parable The Jeweled Robe points to the fact that inherent in every human being lies hidden a precious jewel, whose qualities are that of wisdom and potentiality.
Unbeknown to us, we are just like the poor man in the parable. Each of us has an aspect of our life that we are struggling with, oblivious to the precious jewel within us. We are oblivious because we are not mindful to much of our life. Rather than having a direct experience
