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

Every individual in the world has a unique contribution.

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

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.

We must look at our life without sentimentality, exaggeration or idealism. Does what we are choosing reflect what we most deeply value?

Breathing meditation can quiet the mind, open the body, and develop a great power of concentration.

The first level of practice is illuminated by the qualities of courage and renunciation.
