Meditation Quotes from the Masters

"Enlightenment - that magnificent escape from anguish and ignorance - never happens by accident. It results from the brave and sometimes lonely battle of one person against his own weaknesses" - Nyanasobhano

Why meditation quotes...

Well, for the much needed inspiration from time to time.

When the chips are down and the horizon appears bleak, wise words by one who has walked the path before us, can rekindle the dying fire and set us marching again toward the goal.

Like a compass, their words re-orient us when we are lost for direction. They make the obstacles in our path look like stepping stones to the ultimate success we seek.

Read these quotes and read them again. Jot them down and keep ready access. Pin them in front of you permanently. Internalise them, if you will.

They will encourage you to persist and press-on.

These meditation quotes will have served their purpose if they make you see your meditation journey as exciting, challenging and stimulating. I hope that difficulties that defeat other people act as stimulants on your path of personal growth and achievement.

Also take a look at the healing quotes from various practitioners of meditation through the ages.

Transcending the lower levels of fear, anger, pride and desire, may you achieve lasting joy, peace and love.
