Warriorship does not refer to making war on others. Aggression is the source of our problems, not the solution. Warriorship is the tradition of human bravery, or the tradition of fearlessness.

The trouble with Westerners is that they want to witness their own enlightenment.

If you are telling the truth, then you can speak gently, and your words will have power.

The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.

Look. This is your world! You can't not look. There is no other world. This is your world; it is your feast. You inherited this; you inherited these eyeballs; you inherited this world of color. Look at the greatness of the whole thing. Look! Don't hesitate - look! Open your eyes. Don't blink, and look, look - look further.

It's no use trying to be different than you are.

If kindness doesn't work, try more kindness.
