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

To meditate is to be aware of what is going on - in our bodies, our feelings our minds, and in the world. When we settle into the present moment, we can see the beauties and wonders before our eyes.

To take good care of yourself and to take good care of living beings and of the environment is the best way to love God.

Letting go gives us freedom and freedom is the only condition for happiness

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.

There are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.

When you climb a ladder and arrive on the sixth step and you think that is the highest, then you cannot come to the seventh. So the technique is to abandon the sixth in order for the seventh step to be possible. And this is our practice, to release our views. The practice of nonattachment to views is at the heart of the Buddhist practice of meditation.
