One Zen master said, The whole universe is my true personality. This is a very wonderful saying... If you want to see what you truly are, open the window, and everything you see is in fact the expression of your inner reality. Can you embrace all of it?

You can't look at what's looking. You can't think about that which is prior to thought.

Embrace suffering, and you transform your relationship with what causes you to suffer, as well as your relationship with suffering itself.

As I often tell my students, the person you’ll have the hardest time opening to and truly loving without reserve is yourself. Once you can do that, you can love the whole universe unconditionally.

The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes.

When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.

The biggest embrace of love you'll ever make is to embrace yourself completely. Then you'll realize you've just embraced the whole universe, and everything and everybody in it.
