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

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

In the crystal of the awakened consciousness, one facet is love.

Virtue and integrity are necessary for genuine happiness. Guard your integrity with care.

When you rest in presence and pure awareness, sometimes everything is experienced as love because you're connected with all that is, and love is simply the nature of being.

With mindfulness, we are learning to observe in a new way, with balance and a powerful disidentification.

In this there is no judgment and no blame, for we seek not to perfect the world but to perfect our love for what is on this earth.
