The reason we might lose love is because we are always looking outside of us, thinking that the object or action of love is out there. That is why we allow the love, the harmony, the mature understanding, to slip away from ourselves.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

To love our enemy is impossible. The moment we understand our enemy, we feel compassion towards him/her, and he/she is no longer our enemy.

For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.

Deep listening helps us to recognize the existence of wrong perceptions in the other person and wrong perceptions in us.

If you have not suffered hunger, you do not appreciate having something to eat. If you have not gone through a war, you don't know the value of peace. That is why we should not try to run away from one thing after another thing. Holding our suffering, looking deeply into it, we find a way to happiness.

It's wonderful to be alive and to walk on earth.
