If we know anything about a path at all, it's only because of the Great ones that have gone before us. Out of their love and kindness, they have left some footprints for us to follow. So, in the same way that they wish for us, we wish that all beings everywhere, including ourselves, be safe, be happy, have good health, and enough to eat. And may we all live at ease of heart with whatever comes to us in life.

There is love in this world, and it lives within us as who we really are, not who we think we are.

The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.

The only real protection will come from doing a spiritual practice over a prolonged period of time. Because it retrains us to see the world and ourselves in a different way.

Can you imagine what it would be like to all of a sudden see another color that nobody else sees?

Surrender happens by Grace. All we're doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.

As we do practice something unexpected starts to happen-we get happy!
