If every day you practice walking and sitting meditation and generate the energy of mindfulness and concentration and peace, you are a cell in the body of the new Buddha. This is not a dream but is possible today and tomorrow.

When you say something really unkind, when you do something in retaliation your anger increases. You make the other person suffer, and he will try hard to say or to do something back to get relief from his suffering. That is how conflict escalates.

The wave does not need to die to become water. She is already water.

If we know how to create the energy of love, understanding, compassion, and beauty, then we can contribute a lot to the world.

By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better & prepare for a better future.

The organic gardener does not think of throwing away the garbage. She knows that she needs the garbage. She is capable of transforming the garbage into compost, so that the compost can turn into lettuce, cucumber, radishes, and flowers again...With the energy of mindfulness, you can look into the garbage and say: I am not afraid. I am capable of transforming the garbage back into love.

Reality is reality. It transcends every concept. There is no concept which can adequately describe it, not even the concept of interdependence.
