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

When the energy of compassion and love touches us, healing establishes itself.

When you call me European, I say yes. When you call me Arab, I say yes. When you call me black, I say yes. When you call me white, I say yes. Because I am in you and you are in me. We have to inter-be with everything in the cosmos.

To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living things with the eyes of compassion.

When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.

Before practicing meditation, we see that mountains are mountains. When we start to practice, we see that mountains are no longer mountains. After practicing a while, we see that mountains are again mountains. Now the mountains are very free. Our mind is still with the mountains, but it is no longer bound to anything.

To be spiritual means to be solid, calm, and peaceful and to be able to look deeply inside and around us.
