A basic practice of Buddhism is to remain mindful, and one way this is achieved is through regular reminders. This yearlong collection of daily reminders includes poetry, meditation instruction, practical advice, and thoughts on the nature of life. Quotations from Martine Batchelor, the Dalai Lama, Gunaratana, Henepola, Ayya Khema, Milarepa, and Alan Wallace provide daily inspiration for maintaining perspective during difficult times, finding compassion, and freeing the mind of unnecessary thoughts or worry.
