You can marry the Buddha, and after a few months you will find on the human form the Buddha, too, has his limitations. There may be things that the mind reacts to and irritates you about the Buddha. "Why is he sitting over there in meditation?"

The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace.

The basis for true change is freedom from negativity. And that's what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is. And then you see what this moment requires: what is it that is required now so that life can express itself more fully?

A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.

Worry means the mind is controlling you. Worry is always pointless. A solution never comes out of worry.

The moment you become aware of the silence, you also have become silent.

Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.
