Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.

Practicing meditation is just like breathing. While working we breathe, while sleeping we breathe, while sitting down we breathe... Why do we have time to breathe? Because we see the importance of the breath, we can always find time to breathe. In the same way, if we see the importance of meditation practice we will find the time to practice.

The mind is intrinsically tranquil. Out of this tranquility, anxiety and confusion are born. If one sees and knows this confusion, then the mind is tranquil once more.

Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

Proper effort is not the effort to make something particular happen. It is the effort to be aware and awake each moment, the effort to overcome laziness and merit, the effort to make each activity of our day meditation.

If you haven't wept deeply, you haven't begun to meditate.

Where does peace arise? Peace arises whenever we let something go.
