Be mindful 24 hours a day, not just during the one hour you may allot for formal meditation or reading scripture and reciting prayers. Each act must be carried out in mindfulness.

Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice... No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.

Compassionate listening is to help the other side suffer less. If we realize that other people are the same people as we are, we are no longer angry at them.

Attachment to views is the greatest impediment to the spiritual path.
