Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos — the trees, the clouds, everything.

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.

In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.

Let us fill our hearts with our own compassion - towards ourselves and towards all living beings.

If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.

We inter-breath with the rain forests, we drink from the oceans. They are part of our own body.

I am you and you are me; it is obvious we inter-are.
