Every path, every street in the world is your walking meditation path.

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.

We are determined not to take as the aim of our life fame, profit, wealth, or sensual pleasure, nor to accumulate wealth while millions are hungry and dying. We are committed to living simply and sharing our time, energy, and material resources with those who are in need.

When you have a stomach ache you don't tell your stomach to go away.

When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.

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

We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet.
