I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.

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

The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.

Letting go does not mean pushing away or negating thoughts or feelings that come to us - but instead being with the feeling. We start to feel that we are no longer victims of the stuff that happens to us. There is something we can do about it... if we just take a look at it.

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.

On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.

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