It is a mistake to expect all of our needs to be met by one person or in one relationship. Honor and be grateful for that which you receive. Don't become bitter and spend all your time focusing on that which the person is not able to provide.

Zen practice asks you not to worry about who you 'should' become. Find out who you are right now.

The sense that my world is stable and stationary, that change will never come and that all will go on continuously as it is, is the nature of all delusion.

Whatever we can't love or accept in another, is a mirror of something we can't love or accept in ourselves.

The facts of our lives, when we are able to know them, will free us from the torment we are in. When we can bear reality thoroughly, suffering is over. Pain may exist, but it is only pain. Suffering is what we add to pain.

God's guiding hand, the guiding Voice, resting lightly upon us is best felt and heard when we are silent and still.

All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.
