There is no emptiness without appearance, and there is no appearance without emptiness. That is what we call the interdependent nature.

How wonderful it would be, I thought, if only we could practice the teachings of the Buddha as he really taught them from his own experience - free from the clouds of religiosity that often surround them Yet it's difficult to distinguish the tools themselves from their cultural packaging.

You fall in love with your heart; you fall out of love with your head.

When we wake up from our confused state of mind, that is enlightenment.

It is not about how much you give, it is about how much you can let go with your mind.
