My first exposure to the vocabulary of inter-beingness was through the writings of Thich Nhat Hahn, to whom I remain enormously grateful.

Meditation is one of the most direct and powerful ways to awaken to who we really are and to experience happiness as a state of consciousness that already exists within us.

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Base your happiness on being real, not on illusions and expectations.

Anger is remembered pain, fear is anticipated pain, guilt is self directed pain, depression is depletion of energy. Cure-return to love& joy

Bliss cannot be found by remembering the past or anticipating the future.

Fear is the memory of pain. Addiction is the memory of pleasure. Freedom is beyond both.
