Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.

The Now is as it is because it cannot be otherwise. What Buddhists have always known, physicists now confirm: there are no isolated things or events. Underneath the surface appearance, all things are interconnected, are part of the totality of the cosmos that has brought about the form that this moment takes.

If her past were your past, her pain your pain, her level of consciousness your level of consciousness, you would think and act exactly as she does. With this realization comes forgiveness, compassion and peace.

The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be.

When you are not honoring the present moment by allowing it to be, you are creating drama.

Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.
