Only a deep attention to the whole of our life can bring us the capacity to love well and live freely.

Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.

Each moment of every day is new and then it vanishes. Where is that day? Where is that moment?

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.

The waves do keep coming, so learn to surf.

What would we have to hold in compassion to be at peace right now? What would we have to let go of to be at peace right now?

In any moment we can learn to let go of hatred and fear. We can rest in peace, love, and forgiveness. It is never too late. Yet to sustain love we need to develop practices that cultivate and strengthen the natural compassion within us.
