I am committed to cultivating loving speech and deep listening in order to bring joy and happiness to others and relieve others of their suffering.

When we eat mindfully, we consume exactly what we need to keep our bodies, our minds, and the Earth healthy. When we practice like this, we reduce suffering for ourselves and for others.

There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus.

You are what you want to become. Why search anymore? You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole universe has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you. The kingdom of God, the Pure Land, nirvana, happiness, and liberation are all you.

Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things.

There are always some people who are ready to embrace a doctrine, a notion, a dogma, and they miss the real teaching.

Real love means loving kindness and compassion, the kind of love that does not have any conditions.
