"Mindfulness practice rules out
a mantra-style approach in life.
No miracle or any superstitious belief.
Simply, it is a self-cultured programme.
The practice require us to put in
our own efforts and discover
the truth through our own experience.
The teacher is only to guide but
not to see the truth for us."
~ Venerable Dhammasami
