“If we practice consistently with mindfulness,
whatever time of the day we go to meditate,
be it in the morning or evening,
the mind will move into a state of peace quite easily.
This is what we call continuously developing the mind.”

Ajahn Anan

The Buddha is the most
compassionate being in the world.
He did not teach a difficult path to enlightenment.
The Noble Eightfold Path is the most direct and
accessible way to Nibbāna.
