In our charade with ourselves we pretend that our war is not really war. We have changed the name of the War Department to the Defense Department and call a whole class of nuclear missiles Peace Keepers!

Refraining from stealing: care with material goods. Undertake for one week to act on every single thought of generosity that arises spontaneously in your heart.

To let go in the deepest recesses of the heart, to release all struggle and wanting, leads us to that knowing which is timeless.

No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today.

Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.

Our ideas of self are created by identification. The less we cling to ideas of self, the freer and happier we will be.

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