Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart.

Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

The way you speak to others can offer them joy, happiness, self-confidence, hope, trust, and enlightenment. Mindful speaking is a deep practice.

Fearlessness is not only possible, it is the ultimate joy. When you touch nonfear, you are free.

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.

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.
