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.

No one knows how this world came into being. It is a creation of consciousness itself. It's extraordinary, a mystery.

The light around someone who speaks truth, who consistently acts with compassion for all, even in great difficulty, is visible to all around them.

Anger shows us precisely where we are stuck, where our limits are, where we cling to beliefs and fears.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

Without integrity and conscience we lose our freedom.

When we take the one seat on our meditation cushion we become our own monastery. We create the compassionate space that allows for the arising of all things: sorrows, loneliness, shame, desire, regret, frustration, happiness.
