Sylvia Boorstein Quotes

People are realizing that what seemed important to them in their lives-materialism and consumerism-doesn’t work at all to make a happy heart. It actually makes an unhappy heart. And an unhappy world Picture Quote #1
Life is painful, suffering is optional Picture Quote #1
I am thankful that thus far today I have not had any unkind thoughts or said any harsh words or done anything that I regret. However, now I need to get out of bed and so things may become more difficult Picture Quote #1
Mindfulness is attentiveness, moment to moment. What’s happening right now and what’s coming up in me in response to what’s happening right now. Importantly, this is in the service of being able to choose wisely so that I avoid complicating my own life and the lives of others Picture Quote #1
The voice of Thich Nhat Hanh-friendly, patient, steadfast, confident, contemporary, and often witty-seems, to me, an intermediary big brother talking directly to me on every page saying, ‘Look! It’s right there in you,’ the very wisdom that leads to compassion Picture Quote #1
If you take a deep breath and look around, ‘Look what’s happening to me!’ can become ‘Look what’s happening!’ And what’s happening? The incredible drama of life is happening. And we’re in it! Picture Quote #1

When the mind is clear, behavior is always impeccable Picture Quote #1
My redeemer is always the person next to me Picture Quote #1
The mind is like tofu. It tastes like whatever you marinate it in Picture Quote #1
Suffering is the demand that experience be different from what it is Picture Quote #1
May I meet each moment fully and meet it as a friend Picture Quote #1
It is our own pain, and our own desire to be free of it, that alerts us to the suffering of the world. It is our personal discovery that pain can be acknowledged, even held lovingly, that enables us to look at the pain around us unflinchingly and feel compassion being born in us. We need to start with ourselves Picture Quote #1

Concentration and mindfulness are the internal ways in which the mind restores itself from being out of balance and lost in confusion to a condition of ease, clarity, and wisdom. No external action needs to happen Picture Quote #1
Mindfulness meditation doesn’t change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart’s capacity to accept life as it is Picture Quote #1
What if someone hurts you with a weapon? Wait. Think it over. You probably feel angry. That’s normal. But wasn’t it the stick striking your body that hurt you? Can you be angry at the stick? Of course not. Should you be angry at the wielder of the stick? Wouldn’t it make more sense to be angry at the hatred in the mind of the stick wielder? If you think about it, isn’t the end of hatred in the world what you want most of all? Why, then, would you add to it by giving energy to your anger? After all, it will pass on its own if left alone, especially if you respond to it with compassion Picture Quote #1
If we can keep at least a bit of the mind clear about temporality, we can mange complicated, even difficult, times with grace Picture Quote #1

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of present experience. It isn’t more complicated than that Picture Quote #1

Spirituality doesn’t look like sitting down and meditating. Spirituality looks like folding the towels in a sweet way and talking kindly to the people in the family eve though you’ve had a rough day Picture Quote #1
Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn’t more complicated that that. It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it Picture Quote #1
