| Dear *[FNAME]*: |
 |
| What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. … If we practice mindful breathing, mindful walking, mindful sitting, and working in mindfulness, we try our best to help, and we can have peace in our heart.
– Thich Nhat Hanh |

 Nurture Your Spiritual Confidence
You should feel confident: Yes, I can attain enlightenment, I can benefit beings. Here in samsara I can help my family, I can support the sangha and benefit sentient beings. I can do it. I can achieve things, and I can live a joyful, meaningful life. – Kyabgon Phakchok Rinpoche, “Four Simple Tips for Living a Buddhist Life “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Foundation of Compassion
When practicing and studying, it’s important to have a motivation that is free from affliction. Among the various pure motivations, the most important is the wish to help ourselves and others, the vast motivation of the Mahayana, which means acting for the sake of all sentient beings, who are as limitless as space. – Kenchen Thrangu, “On What Is Most Important “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 “The Buddhist traditions have extraordinary potential to help us engage with the kind of crises we face, but if we’re not willing to do so, then perhaps we need to reflect and find other ways to respond.”

 “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.”

 Our Fundamental Goodness
I’ve found that pointing people to their fundamental goodness will awaken it. It’s more skillful than pointing to the negative. We are so loyal to our suffering and to seeing ourselves as damaged that it’s very easy to use spiritual practice to reinforce our self-judgment. That doesn’t help people become liberated. – Jack Kornfield, “The Wise Heart” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Letting Go and Reaching Out
If we’re able to catch an angry thought as it’s budding, we can let it go. The same is true of despair or hopelessness. And when letting go is too difficult, a good medicine for dealing with these emotions is to reach out and help others, healing them and ourselves. – John Daido Loori Roshi, “Between Two Mountains” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Taming the Monkey Mind
The biggest hindrance to our meditation is constant intrusive thoughts. This is normal for everyone and from the beginning you should expect it. The nature of our mind is to think, and it is childish to imagine that we can simply turn that process off when we wish to. Our minds have been almost completely out of control for most of our life. Recognizing this can help us to be practical and patient–it may take us some time and a lot of skillful practice to tame the crazy ‘monkey mind.’ – Bob Sharples, “Do The Thoughts Ever Stop?” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
