"Dependent co-arising contains twelve steps, with craving as the eighth step.

" . . . mindfulness of breathing brings knowledge to all three types of fabrication. In that way, it turns them from causes of craving and suffering into factors of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. #ThanissaroBhikkhu

"An essential skill in meditation is learning how to read what your body needs. Give it more energy when it needs more, even though that may not seem as quiet and refined as you’d like. You’ve got to take care of both the body and the mind." - #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

"There's a lot of suffering in the world that comes again and again.

"When the young Prince Siddhartha realized that, he had a sense of samvega. We tend to forget that. That's why he has us chant every night: subject to aging, subject to illness, subject to death. And it just keeps going on and on, and on – unless we decide to make a difference.

"Simply pose the question in the mind each time you breathe in: 'What kind of breath would feel especially gratifying right now?' See how your body responds." - #ThanissaroBhikkhu in With Each & Every Breath
