Yes, there are troubles in the world. There's war and hatred, there's sickness and difficulty. And there is also an undying spirit, an inviolable consciousness that is born in each of us. It is who we are, and it's everything and it's nothing.

As desire abates, generosity is born. When we are connected and present, what else is there to do but give?

In the end, forgiveness simply means never putting another person out of our heart.

Only a deep attention to the whole of our life can bring us the capacity to love well and live freely.

No amount of meditation, yoga, diet, and reflection will make all of our problems go away, but we can transform our difficulties into our practice until little by little they guide us on our way.

It does not matter whether you have religion or are an agnostic believe in nothing, You can only appreciate (without knowing or understanding) the mysteries of life.

Great pain, when it is honored from the heart, opens into great understanding.
