The willingness to empty ourselves and then seek our true nature is an expression of great and courageous love.

The awakened heart and mind can be experienced as clarity itself, pure knowing.

To see the preciousness of all things, we must bring our full attention to life

It is hard to imagine a world without forgiveness. Without forgiveness life would be unbearable. Without forgiveness our lives are chained, forced to carry the sufferings of the past and repeat them with no release.

As we learn to bow, we discover that the heart holds more freedom and compassion than we could imagine.

Everybody needs to take some time, in some way, to quiet themselves and really listen to their heart.

Beneath the sophistication of Buddhist psychology lies the simplicity of compassion. We can touch into this compassion whenever the mind is quiet, whenever we allow the heart to open.
