The present moment is really all that we have. The only place you can really love another person is in the present. Love in the past is a memory. Love in the future is a fantasy. To be really alive, love - or any other experience - must take place in the present.

There are no holy places and no holy people, only holy moments, only moments of wisdom.

The work of your heart, the work of taking time, to listen, to help, is also your gift to the whole of the world

Beneath the sophistication of Buddhist psychology lies the simplicity of compassion. We can touch into this compassion whenever the mind is quiet, whenever we allow the heart to open.

The first level of practice is illuminated by the qualities of courage and renunciation.

The wholeness and freedom we seek is our true nature, who we really are.

It is our commitment to wholeness that matters, the willingness to unfold in every deep aspect of our being.
