“What's encouraging about meditation is that even if we shut down, we can no longer shut down in ignorance. We see very clearly that we're closing off. That in itself begins to illuminate the darkness of ignorance.”
Pema Chodron
“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.”
Buddha
“The more I read, the more I meditate; and the more I acquire, the more I am enabled to affirm that I know nothing”
Voltaire
“The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.”
Confucius
“No great work has ever been produced except after a long interval of still and musing meditation”
Walter Bagehot
“This person does things in ignorance; he does not chant in meditation, and does not perform any deep, self-disciplined meditation.”
Atharva Veda
“Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.”
