“In a world where things can change suddenly, our bodies and our lives are uncertain. Yet ‘mindfulness and wisdom’ are our true protection, helping to keep us safe from all kinds of dangers.

Take, for example, eight-year-old Sōyan, who miraculously survived an avalanche by remaining mindful, or a seven-year-old girl in the Buddha’s time, whose sharp mindfulness and wisdom enabled her to attain a high level of Dhamma.

Even when faced with a great loss, Visākhā was able to get through it when the Buddha reminded her to be mindful and understand the nature of love and suffering. As long as we are still breathing, we should therefore live without heedlessness and diligently train the mind through meditation, so that we are ready to face the realities of life.”
