You see, being a mindfulness practitioner does not mean you will silence your mind. I certainly didn’t. It doesn’t mean you will know your every move. I don’t even know what will happen next second. I just believe I will have one...
Why do people like scandals? Is it a chance to break all the rules in a fight? Or just a moment to shine and draw the attention? It's a good food for our ego!..

Do you believe in Miracles? I don’t. What I mean, I believe they are not miracles, they are simply things that we are not able to comprehend.

Nowadays, we are all busy. Some are more, some are less. But unless you are a full time mindfulness or meditation teacher, in many cases it may not be easy to find time to meditate. Besides, most of people spend their training time on things like...

I watched a cartoon today. What’s so remarkable about this cartoon, was that it reflected major problems in our society.

Because not learning this lesson can be devastating to their future...
