You have two gardens: your own garden and that of your beloved. First, you have to take care of your own garden and master the art of gardening. In each one of us there are flowers and there is also garbage. The garbage is the anger, fear, discrimination, and jealousy within us. If you water the garbage, you will strengthen the negative seeds. If you water the flowers of compassion, understanding, and love, you will strengthen the positive seeds. What you grow is up to you.

There is no birth, there is no death; there is no coming, there is no going; there is no same, there is no different; there is no permanent self, there is no annihilation. We only think there is.

When you learn how to suffer, you suffer much less.

Reconciliation is to understand both sides; to go to one side and describe the suffering being endured by the other side, and then go to the other side and describe the suffering being endured by the first side.

If we chew every morsel of our food, in that way we become grateful, and when you are grateful, you are happy.

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.

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.
