We can easily become loyal to our suffering … but it's not the end of the path.

To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.

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

The person who betrayed you is sunning themselves on a beach in Hawaii and you're knotted up in hatred. Who is suffering?

Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.

Meditation takes discipline, just like learning how to play piano. If you want to learn how to play the piano, it takes more than a few minutes a day, once a while, here and there. If you really want to learn any important skill, whether it is playing piano or meditation, it grows with perseverance, patience, and systematic training.

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