Below are some of my favorite quotes from Zen and mindfulness teachers :
Read, practice and feel the bliss of Zen.
- “Awareness is the greatest agent for change.”
– Eckhart Tolle - “My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we’re living with right now.”
– Byron Katie - “Self-realization is effortless. What you are trying to find is what you already are.”

– Alan Watts - “All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.”
– Eckhart Tolle - “For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”
– Thích Nhat Hanh - “Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?”
– D.T. Suzuki - “Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”
– Alan Watts
