The secret to happiness is happiness itself. Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, the wonder of our breathing. We don't have to travel anywhere else to do so. We can be in touch with these things right now.

Wherever we are we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other and the wonder of our breathing.

If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.

If we know how to create the energy of love, understanding, compassion, and beauty, then we can contribute a lot to the world.

Understanding means throwing away your knowledge.

If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.

To be loved means to be recognized as existing.
