Those who have a tranquil mind can remain calm and easy in any adversity. If one really understands the impermanent nature of the world, there will be no fear, anxiety, worries, or pains.

With compassion, even when one is angry it is still kindness;
Without compassion, even when one is smiling it can still kill.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
有�慈悲的心，�使生气也是和善的；
没有慈悲的心，�使在微笑也能�人。

The first lesson in practicing Buddhism is to understand the principle of impermanence, for only so can we ease life and death, master our own life, and march toward a state of brightness.

In your busy lives you constantly have your head full or thoughts about the future or about the past - what are you going to do next or what are you going to become or how well or badly you just did. This means you're often not that aware of what is around you, and what happening in the here and now. So there's likely to be a lot good stuff that you miss (or not so good stuff that you really need to be aware of). It also means that you often do things more out of unconscious habit rather than fully conscious choice.
Being mindful means being more fully aware of what is around you - what you can see, hear, touch and taste. And what is happening inside - your thoughts and feelings. It's about learning to observe all this but not getting caught up in thinking or worrying about it, so being able to choose what you then attend to.
Mindfulness has been shown to help you be healthier, less affected by stress, more relaxed, more creative, more open to learning, sleep better, improve your relationships with others and feel happier and more satisfied with your lives.
What's great is it's a skill that anyone can learn and benefit from. -
