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

Since death will take us anyway, why live our life in fear? Why not die in our old ways and be free to live?

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

Everything has a beginning and an ending. Make peace with that and all will be well...In life we cannot avoid change, we cannot avoid loss. Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

The best of modern therapy is much like a process of shared meditation, where therapist and client sit together, learning to pay close attention to those aspects and dimensions of the self that the client may be unable to touch on his or her own.

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

When I sit with students, I do not just want to help them solve their problems. I want to find a moment with each person where their mind stops and their eyes open. I want us to be together as if we were lying in a field on the underside of the earth on a clear summer night, held only by the magnet of gravity, looking down into a bottomless sea of stars. I want us to remember together the beauty all around us.
