Each moment you are alive is a gem. It needs you to breathe gently for the miracles to be displayed.

To be loved means to be recognized as existing.

In the mountains of wisdom no climbing is in vain.

The war is in our souls.

If you are truly present and know how to take care of the present moment as best you can, you are doing your best for the future already.

Every day we touch what is wrong, and, as a result, we are becoming less and less healthy. That is why we have to learn to practice touching what is not wrong—inside us and around us. When we get in touch with our eyes, our heart, our liver, our breathing, and our non-toothache and really enjoy them, we see that the conditions for peace and happiness are already present.

Loving ourselves means loving our community. When we are capable of loving ourselves, nourishing ourselves properly, not intoxicating ourselves, we are already protecting and nourishing society.
