If you want to know what your thoughts were like in the past, look at your body today. If you want to know what your body will look like in the future, look at your thoughts today.

Who am I? is the only question worth asking and the only one never answered.

One's attention has to penetrate the chaotic activity, pass through all the layers of subtle thought, and at last emerge into silence. This is the basic process of transcending.

Forgiveness is attention without judgment. It heals the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven.

Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take; then, take it. Then, choose the next smallest action, and do that.

I think the highest forgiveness is to accept that creation is thoroughly tangled, with every possible quality given outlet for expression. People need to accept once and for all that there is only one life and each of us is free to shape it through the choices we make. Seeking can’t get anyone out of the tangle because everything is tangled up…it’s much easier to keep up the fight between good and evil, holy and profane, us and them. But as awareness grows, these opposites begin to calm down in their clashes, and something else emerges- a world you feel at home in.

There is one experience that brings joy or happiness to every living being. The experience of love.
