The most precious resource in the world is human attention.

There's a big difference between trying to get something and trying to do something. Pay attention to what you're doing.

Other people have views, and they matter.

This path is not about achieving some state of mind you can depend on - there is no state of mind you can depend on.

Mindfulness is the opposite of magic.

Often, we make requests of ourselves that are not feasible. But this path needs to be made of feasible steps.

Business is a kind of laziness.

Take a technique, and just go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

To the extent that we've become free of suffering, we become trustworthy.

Life is a mixture of joy and suffering. Often we can't tell the difference.

The path of the world would have us push our pain, suffering, and death onto others. Turn around.

The people who think we can change the world for the better are right.

The antidote for arrogance is humility.

The most dominant theme of Western mindfulness is, 'We can do it better.'

We are not the first people to think, "How can this path happen as fast as possible?"

Our culture is defined by the way we integrate Awakening and Responsibility.

The Christian way of describing what we call "Awakening and Responsibility" is "Faith and Works." These are not contrary.

Responsible mindfulness changes the world with every step.

Our culture wants to sprint this path, and it is leaving ethics and real insight behind.

It feels embarrassing that we need to say the obvious: "It's important to transcend ourselves."
