All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

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

Actually, the ability to choose presence depends on the degree of presence that's emerging in you. Ultimately, you are not choosing, there's nobody there to choose. When you think you are choosing, presence is simply emerging in that moment.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.

You create a good future by creating a good present.

To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.

Through forgiveness, which essentially means recognizing the insubstantiality of the past and allowing the present moment to be as it is, the miracle of transformation happens not only within but also without.
