Knowing that anger makes me ugly, I smile instead. I return to myself and meditate on love.

If we can not smile, we cannot help other people to smile.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena. To see one in all and all in one is to break through the great barrier which narrows one's perception of reality.

There is no enlightenment outside of daily life.

To love our enemy is impossible. The moment we understand our enemy, we feel compassion towards him/her, and he/she is no longer our enemy.

If you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are not any longer afraid to die because the earth is not dying. Like a wave appears and disappears and appears again.
