Death is simply a shedding of the physical body, like the butterfly coming out of a cocoon. . . . It's like putting away your winter coat when spring comes.

We are living in a time of uncertainty, anxiety, fear, and despair. It is essential that you become aware of the light, power, and strength within each of you, and that you learn to use those inner resources in service of your own and others' growth.

My patients taught me not how to die, but how to live.

Beautiful people do not just happen

It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.

Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.
