Quotes by Michael Bunting
“That’s what mindfulness does: you just feel better… ‘for no good reason’ ”
“If I want more happiness, and more effectiveness, I should train my mind to be clearer, my heart to be engaged, and my body to be relaxed”
“When I wish for reality to be different, which is a function of the mind, my suffering exponentially increases”
“Do not get involved in an argument with today”
“It’s a sense of wonder, and freshness, because the mind is clean and clear, and life is just absolutely extraordinary”
