Anxiety is the illness of our age. We worry about ourselves, our family, our friends, our work, and our state of the world. If we allow worry to fill our hearts, sooner or later we will get sick.

Anyone who is practicing understanding and compassion can exemplify true power. Anyone can be a Buddha.

Whenever anger comes up, take out a mirror and look at yourself. When you are angry, you are not very beautiful.

Just listen Be peace.

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?

A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfill that. That is not loving; it is destroying.

In true love, you attain freedom.
