Forgiveness belongs to those who know how to love in the first place.

When you become defensive, blame others, and do not accept and surrender to the moment, your life meets resistance. Any time you encounter resistance, recognize that if you force the situation, the resistance will only increase. You don't want to stand rigid like a tall oak that cracks and collapses in the storm. Instead, you want to be flexible, like a reed that bends with the storm and survives.

Pain is not the same as suffering. Left to itself, the body discharges pain spontaneously, letting go of it the moment that the underlying cause is healed. Suffering is pain that we hold on to. It comes from the mind’s mysterious instinct to believe that pain is good, or that it cannot be escaped, or that the person deserves it.

Well-being changes as we move through life, which is why a child's version of it cannot be the same as an old person's.

You know, religion itself, Eastern and Western, is divisive and quarrelsome anyway.

Know that you have a center.Know that you belong there.Know that the path to the center takes no effort.

Life is set up to bring you every needed situation in its own right time.
