You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

When you enter deeply into this moment, you see the nature of reality, and this insight liberates you from suffering and confusion. Peace is already there to some extent: the problem is whether we know how to touch it.

People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore.

Our appointment with life is in the present moment. If we do not have peace and joy right now, when will we have peace and joy?

Happiness does not come from consumption of things.

Each breath we take, each step we make, each smile we realize, is a positive contribution to peace... a necessary step in the direction of peace for the world.

It is possible to live twenty-four hours a day in a state of love. Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love.
