Practice Mindfulness and Compassion
The simple and pragmatic answer
Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn Founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
MINDFULNESS is intentionally paying attention, being fully aware of what is
happening both inside yourself - in your body, heart and mind - and outside
yourself in your environment. Mindfulness is awareness without
judgement.
Mindfulness
● Awareness without judgement● In the present moment● With acceptance● Witnessing sensations, thoughts and
emotions● With kindness and curiosity
“I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
“
“Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
“The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Understand Our True Nature
Life is suffering
Impermanence
Non-Self
Inter-relationship
“You are me and I am you. Isn't it obvious that we inter-are?
You cultivate the flower in yourself so that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myselfso that you do not have to suffer.
I support you you support me. I am here to bring you peace
you are here to bring me joy. “
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Mindfulness Meditation
Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is the unknown. Now is the knowing.
