"We're going to have to retire the word mindfulness. It's been hopelessly corrupted in English."

“An Arrow to the Heart”

“If you don't clearly understand what you are looking for in a teacher or in internal work, you will inevitably accept someone else's agenda as your own. While you may start internal transformative work on the suggestion or advice of another person, at some point your practice has to become a response to your own questions about life and being.”

“The fundamental effort in Buddhist practice is to develop a sufficient capacity in attention so that you can experience your own non-existence.”

“Ken McLeod Management Consulting and Leadership Development”

“Some find they can practice effectively by bringing attention to the arising of like, dislike and indifference in their meditation practice and daily life. Others are able to use the power of loving kindness, compassion, equanimity, or devotion to change the way they experience things. And still others develop or naturally have enough capacity in awareness that they experience attraction as delight, aversion as clarity, and indifference as non-thought.”

“Appeals to justice or fairness are almost always stories that hide or protect unacknowledged hurts or pains.”
