You would not cry if you knew that by looking deeply into the rain you would still see the cloud.

Many people think excitement is happiness.... But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.

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.

We are looking for happiness and running after it in such a way that creates anger, fear and discrimination. So when you attend a retreat, you have a chance to look at the deep roots of this pollution of the collective energy that is unwholesome.

In the Light of interbeing, peace and happiness in your daily life means peace and happiness in the world.

Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. Maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. You should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. Restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. If it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.

Anxiety, the illness of our time, comes primarily from our inability to dwell in the present moment.
