Everything inside and around us wants to reflect itself in us. We don't have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the still water of our heart.

Mindfulness must be engaged. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. Otherwise, what's the use of seeing?

When you hold a child in your arms, or hug your mother, or your husband, or your friend, if you breathe in and out three times, your happiness will be multiplied at least tenfold.

To be loved means to be recognized as existing.

Our own lives are the instruments with which we experiment with truth.
