Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation.
William Pitt
Image
Breathing is important in the practice of meditation because it is the faculty in us that is simultaneously voluntary and involuntary. You can feel that you are breathing, and equally you can feel that it is breathing you. So it is a sort of bridge between the voluntary world and the involuntary world — a place where they are one.
Alan Watts

Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts

When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.

I and my bosom must debate awhile, and then I would no other company.
William Shakespeare

Work for god, love god alone, and be wise with god. When an ordinary man puts the necessary rime and enthusiasm into meditation and prayer, he becomes a divine man.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Thought is action in rehearsal.
William Zinsser
Image
To understand ourselves and our life is the point of insight meditation: to understand and to be free.
Jack Kornfield
Image
When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen, in that gap, in between, isn't there a consciousness of the present moment fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair's breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness? Well, that's what naturally peaceful awareness is.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Image
Of course there are dozens of meditation techniques, but it all comes down to this - just let it all be. Step over here where it is cool, out of the battle. Why not give it a try?
Ajahn Chah
Image
When sitting in meditation, say, That's not my business! with every thought that comes by.
Ajahn Chah
Image
If your mind is happy then you are happy anywhere you go. When wisdom awakens within you, you will see Truth wherever you look. Truth is all there is. It's like when you learned how to read, you can then read anywhere you go.
Ajahn Chah
Image
If you have time to breathe you have time to meditate. You breathe when you walk. You breathe when you stand. You breathe when you lie down.
Ajahn Amaro
Image
Meditation is to get out of your psychosis and to get out of your neurosis it is simply to slip out of them.
Rajneesh

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

This is a technology where without external input, you create a chemistry of blissfulness within you.
