You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.
Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.
I do whatever I can to serve peace. My job is the end of suffering.
One morning as I lay sleeping on the floor, a cockroach crawled over my foot. And I opened my eyes out of this dead sleep - about a 43-year sleep - and in place of all that darkness was a joy that I can't describe.
