The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.

In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.

The reality is there is only each present moment: You are called to give a talk. You get out of a building and into a car. You look out of the window. You arrive at the venue. You sit in the chair; you wait; you step out onto the stage. Every movement is simple. There is only that.

So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.

Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.

What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.

The word Buddha comes from the Sanskrit word Budh, meaning, to be awake. So Buddha is not a name and ultimately not a person, but a state of consciousness.
