My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.

Mother Earth is very talented.

The only answer to fear is more understanding. And there is no understanding if there is no effort to look more deeply to see what is there in our heart and in the heart of the other person.

Wrong perceptions cannot be removed by guns and bombs. They should be removed by deep listening, compassionate listening, and loving space.

Anyone who is practicing understanding and compassion can exemplify true power. Anyone can be a Buddha.

To make peace, our hearts must be at peace with the world.

To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.
