3 quotes from Mindfulness in Plain English

"The moment you understand that your mind is a wandering one, you get a sense of what you are supposed to be doing with mindfulness: bringing your awareness back to the present moment."
"The breath is the one thing that is always with you, so use it as an anchor to bring your attention back to the present moment whenever it drifts away."
"Mindfulness is not a matter of trying to get anywhere, nor of trying to become someone, but of simply seeing things as they are."

Author : Henepola Gunaratana

Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, affectionately known as "Bhante G" by his students, is the founding abbot of the Bhavana Society. Hailing from rural Sri Lanka, he became a monk at the age of 12 and was fully ordained by age 20 in 1947. After relocating to the United States in 1968, Bhante G gained recognition as an influential meditation teacher and author of several books, including the classic guide, "Mindfulness in Plain English," and its companion, "Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness." With a rich background in missionary work and a commitment to teaching, he has led retreats on topics such as vipassana, mindfulness, and loving-kindness, both at the Bhavana Society and internationally. As an esteemed scholar, he emphasizes the integration of metta bhavana and samadhi in spiritual practice. In 1996, he was honored with the title of Chief Sangha Nayaka Thera for North America. Bhante G continues to inspire others through his writings, teachings, and dedication to education for underprivileged children in Sri Lanka through the Sri Henepola Gunaratana Scholarship Trust.
