Pain Is Inevitable, Suffering Is Not.

Mindfulness Helps Us Freeze The Frame So That We Can Become Aware Of Our Sensations And Experiences As They Are, Without The Distorting Coloration Of Socially Conditioned Responses Or Habitual Reactions.

Prayer And Contemplation Are Both Exercises In Concentration. The Normal Deluge Of Conscious Thought Is Restricted And The Mind Is Brought To One Conscious Area Of Operation. The Results Are Those You Find In Any Concentrative Practice: Deep Calm, A Physiological Slowing Of The Metabolism And A Sense Of Peace And Wellbeing

Peace Is Not A Thought, Not A Concept; It Is A Nonverbal Experience.

You Can't Ever Get Everything You Want. It Is Impossible. Luckily, There Is Another Option: You Can Learn To Control Your Mind, To Step Outside Of The Endless Cycle Of Desire And Aversion.

Meditation Changes Your Character.
