To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

Letting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring about them in a flexible and wise way.

I used to think that to become free you had to practice like a samurai warrior, but now I understand that you have to practice like a devoted mother of a newborn child. It takes the same energy but has a completely different quality. It's compassion and presence rather than having to defeat the enemy in battle.

Live in joy, luminosity, and peace even among the troubles of the world. Remember who you are.

It is the place of feeling that binds us or frees us.

To undertake a genuine spiritual path is not to avoid difficulties but to learn the art of making mistakes wakefully, to bring them to the transformative power of our heart.
