Mindful time spent with the person we love is the fullest expression of true love and real generosity.

Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment.

Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.

The energy of compassion is very strong. We suffer. That is real. But we have learned not to get angry and not to allow ourselves to be carried by anger. We realize right away that that is fear. That is corruption.

In the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change.

Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.
