A meditative mind is at ease because it's not trying to acquire anything.

It is not the pursuit of greater and greater states of happiness and bliss that leads to enlightenment, but the yearning for Reality and the rabid dissatisfaction with living anything less than a fully authentic life.

What will carry us into living freedom is not the holding of attention so much as the holding of appreciation.

All is always well even when it seems unbelievably unwell.

How do I integrate spirituality into my everyday life? Throw out the concept of "spiritual life" and "everyday life." There is only life, undivided and whole.

Whenever you aren’t manipulating your experience, you’re meditating. As soon as you meditate because you think you should, you’re controlling your experience again, and you’ve squeezed all the value out of your meditation.

Enlightenment is a destructive process.
