"It’s better to wish that people come to their senses and have a change of heart on their own, and that you’d be willing to aid them in that process in whatever way you can. After all, wouldn’t you prefer to come to your senses without having to be punished first for your past wrongdoings? Allow others the same chance." #ThanissaroBhikkhu

“Like the body from within: How do you know the body from within? You know it through the breath. And the breath here is not just the air coming in and out of the lungs; it’s also the sense of energy you feel as you inhabit the body from inside—how you feel your arms and legs, your torso, your head, from inside. There’s that old Peanuts cartoon where Linus comes up to Lucy and says, ‘Feel my hands. See how cold they are.’ She touches them and says, ‘Yes, they really are cold.’ And then she asks, ‘But how do you know that they’re cold when you’re inside them?’ Her feeling of his hands from the outside, that’s her awareness of him. He’s got a different awareness of his hands. That’s where we focus our attention, that awareness from within. And for most of us, this is an area we’re not all that familiar with. We don’t have much of a vocabulary for this dimension in English.” – #ThanissaroBhikkhu

"Think of the breath as a whole-body process. It’s not just at your nose; it’s not just at your abdomen. The simple fact that the muscles in the body have to expand and contract to let the breath in, let it go out, creates different patterns of energy that flow throughout the whole body." - #ThanissaroBhikkhu
