Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.

Honoring the moment is honoring every human being you meet. The only place where you can meet them is in the moment.

Vipassana is fine until it becomes a technique that has many stages and that takes time to develop. That can be okay for people for a while, but then you have to leave the technique behind.

You pick up the phone and you talk to somebody. There's a voice on the other end and you say what you have to say. This is how I perceive my life. I don't see myself as "Oh, I'm doing this great thing because I'm going to give this talk, now everybody's going to be transformed."

The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.

On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realize that, there is a joyous energy behind what you do.
