Every individual in the world has a unique contribution.

We need a warrior’s heart that lets us face our lives directly, our pains and limitations, our joys and possibilities.

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

Compassion is our deepest nature. It arises from our interconnection with all things.

Only a deep attention to the whole of our life can bring us the capacity to love well and live freely.

We don't know all the reasons that propel us on a spiritual journey, but somehow our life compels us to go.

Thich Nhat Hanh has the ability to express some of the most profound teachings of interdependence and emptiness I've ever heard. With the eloquence of a poet, he holds up a sheet of paper and teaches us that the rain cloud and the tree and the logger who cut the tree down are all there in the paper. He's been one of the most significant carriers of the lamp of the dharma to the West that we have had.
