Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.

The Buddha compared anger with picking up hot coals with one's bare hands and trying to throw them at the person with whom one is angry. Who gets burned first? The one who is angry of course.

"Wholeheartedly" means that we give our time, love, and energy unstintingly.

Eventually we will find (mostly in retrospect, of course) that we can be very grateful to those people who have made life most difficult for us.

Half the spiritual life consists of remembering what we are up against and where we are going.

If we want to be loved, we are looking for a support system. If we want to love, we are looking for spiritual growth.

If the whole universe can be found in our own body and mind, this is where we need to make our inquires. We all have the answers within ourselves, we just have not got in touch with them yet. The potential of finding the truth within requires faith in ourselves.
