For most of us, generosity is a quality that must be developed. We have to respect that it will grow gradually; otherwise our spirituality can become idealistic and imitative, acting out the image of generosity before it has become genuine.

Much of spiritual life is self-acceptance, maybe all of it.

In this world there are two great sources of strength. One rests with those who are not afraid to kill. The other rests with those who are not afraid to love.

In sitting on the meditation cushion and assuming the meditation posture, we connect ourselves with the present moment in this body and on this earth.

As surely as there is a voyage away, there is a journey home.

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

Use whatever has come to awaken patience, understanding, and love.
