Spiritual practice is not just sitting and meditation. Practice is looking, thinking, touching, drinking, eating and talking. Every act, every breath, and every step can be practice and can help us to become more ourselves.

It is difficult to explain to children in the "overdeveloped" nations that not all children in the world have such beautiful and nourishing food. Awareness of this fact alone can help us overcome many of our own psychological pains. Eventually our contemplation can help us see how to assist those who need our help so much.

Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have them, you are compelled to act.

It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.

The way you speak to others can offer them joy, happiness, self-confidence, hope, trust, and enlightenment. Mindful speaking is a deep practice.

Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet.

Mindful time spent with the person we love is the fullest expression of true love and real generosity.
