Tibetan monks frequently practice a moment of mindfulness each and every time they walk through a door. Sometimes they do this by remembering to recite a certain verse or mantra as they do so. Try this yourself for a day. Every time you walk through a door, pause, take a moment, breathe in and out. Bring yourself back to the moment. Then cross the threshold and walk on.

rather than getting lost in it

We all want to be famous people,
and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers.
Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!”
and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.
