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.

When we feel anger toward someone, we can consider that they are a being just like us, who has faced much suffering in life.

Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.

Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

Whatever we cultivate in times of ease, we gather as strength for times of change.
