If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.

The most important thing is that we need to be understood. We need someone to be able to listen to us and to understand us. Then we will suffer less.

I vow to live fully in each moment.

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.

Our appointment with life is in the present moment. If we do not have peace and joy right now, when will we have peace and joy?

The kingdom of God is available to you in the here and the now. But the question is whether you are available to the kingdom.

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