We need to move beyond the idea of 'environment' and fall back in love with Mother Earth.

Transformations is the word. We can do the work of transformation only in the present moment

Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet.

The real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion's roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.

The most important thing is that we need to be understood. We need someone to be able to listen to us and to understand us. Then we will suffer less.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

The Buddha also counseled the monks and nuns to avoid wasting any precious time by engaging in idle conversation, oversleeping, pursuing fame and recognition, chasing after desires, spending time with people of poor character, and being satisfied with only a shallow understanding of the teaching.
