Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware - not only of our own inner workings but also of what's happening around us in the here & now.

It is better to do nothing than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

The Dhammapada

Remember: no attachment should grow, no clinging should grow. They are all against your independence, your freedom, your individuality.

Osho

If a man going down into a river, swollen and swiftly flowing, is carried away by the current - how can he help others across?

Buddha

You can read books without ever stepping into a library; and practice spirituality without ever going to a temple.

Anthony de Mello

Should a seeker not find a companion who is better or equal, let them resolutely pursue a solitary course.

Buddha
