Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes About Mindfulness

Quotes about: Mindfulness

• The point is not how long you meditate; the point is whether the practice actually brings you to a certain state of mindfulness and presence, where you are a little open and able to connect with your heart essence. And five minutes of wakeful sitting practice is of far greater value than twenty minutes of dozing!

• Our lives are lived in intense and anxious struggle, in a swirl of speed and aggression, in competing, grasping, possessing and achieving, forever burdening ourselves with extraneous activities and preoccupations.

  Struggle, Buddhism, Forever

• Why, if we are as pragmatic as we claim, don't we begin to ask ourselves seriously: Where does our real future lie?

  Sogyal Rinpoche (2009). “Glimpse After Glimpse: Daily Reflections on Living and Dying”, p.9, Harper Collins

• When you have learned, through discipline, to simplify your life, and so practiced the mindfulness of meditation, and through it loosened the hold of aggression, clinging, and negativity on your whole being, the wisdom of insight can slowly dawn. And in the all-revealing clarity of its sunlight, this insight can show you, distinctly and directly, both the subtlest workings of your own mind and the nature of reality.
