The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.

Look at all the conflict between tribes, nations, and religions. They need their enemies, because they provide the sense of separateness on which their collective egoic identity depends.

All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.

I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten.

Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.

If there isn't an emanation of love and joy, complete presence and openness toward all beings, then it is not enlightenment.

You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
