Our nature is the nature of no birth and no death. It is impossible for a cloud to pass from being into nonbeing. And that is true with a beloved person. They have not died. They have continued in many new forms and you can look deeply and recognize them in you and around you.

Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.

If we chew every morsel of our food, in that way we become grateful, and when you are grateful, you are happy.

Reality is reality. It transcends every concept. There is no concept which can adequately describe it, not even the concept of interdependence.

The bad things, don't do them. The good things, try to do them. Try to purify, subdue your own mind. That is the teaching of all buddhas.

We have to learn to die in every moment in order to be fully alive.

Breathe and you dwell in the here and now, breath and you see impermanence is life.
