Breathing meditation can quiet the mind, open the body, and develop a great power of concentration.

We are awakened to the profound realization that the true path to liberation is to let go of everything.

If grief or anger arises, Let there be grief or anger. This is the Buddha in all forms,Sun Buddha, Moon Buddha, Happy Buddha, Sad Buddha. It is the universe offering all things to awaken and open our heart.

Gratitude is confidence in life itself. In it, we feel how the same force that pushes grass through cracks in the sidewalk invigorates our own life.

Love is based on our capacity to trust in a reality beyond fear, to trust a timeless truth bigger than all our difficulties.

May I be given the appropriate difficulties so that my heart can truly open with compassion. Imagine asking for that.

There are no holy places and no holy people, only holy moments, only moments of wisdom.
