There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.

I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.

Some children are afraid to die because their parents are afraid to die. My own children have come to understand that it's totally okay with me if they die. They don't have to live for my sake.

When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.

Gratitude is what we are without a story.

Do you know anyone who hasn't changed his mind? This door was a tree, then it will be firewood for someone, then it will return to air and earth. We're all like that, constantly changing. It's simply honest to report that you've changed your mind when you have. When you're afraid of what people will think if you speak honestly, that's where you become confused.
