The words of the Buddha offer this truth: ∼ Hatred never ceases by hatred but by love alone is healed.

It only take a few minutes of meditation to directly realize we are a river of sensations, feelings, thoughts, perceptions. How can we navigate this evanescent river of life wisely? With mindful awareness and love it becomes clear. You can fight against the river of change, or use its wisdom to teach you how to graciously move and create and flow with the full measure of joy and sorrow, gain and loss, praise and blame that make up every human incarnation.

In sitting on the meditation cushion and assuming the meditation posture, we connect ourselves with the present moment in this body and on this earth.

The willingness to empty ourselves and then seek our true nature is an expression of great and courageous love.

No matter what situation we find ourselves in, we can always set our compass to our highest intentions in the present moment

Every individual has a unique contribution.

We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.
