The only way to ease our fear and be truly happy is to acknowledge our fear and look deeply at its source. Instead of trying to escape from our fear, we can invite it up to our awareness and look at it clearly and deeply.

Without understanding, your love is not true love. You must look deeply in order to see and understand the needs, aspirations, and suffering of the one you love.

The way must be in you; the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive.

The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.

No one is more worthy of your kindness and compassion than you are.

In order to rally people, governments need enemies... if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet.
