Of course, you play the game of life because you got to be incarnated.

To become mindful … present … is really the invitation to work with the joys and the sorrows of the world, and to do so with this gift, this capacity of loving awareness, of attention that actually can be present for the whole dance.

We can always begin again.

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

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

To open deeply, as genuine spiritual life requires, we need tremendous courage and strength, a kind of warrior spirit.

Whenever we forgive, in small ways at home, or in great ways between nations, we free ourselves from the past.
