To be beautiful means to be yourself.You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

When you look at the sun during your walking meditation, the mindfulness of the body helps you to see that the sun is in you; without the sun there is no life at all and suddenly you get in touch with the sun in a different way.

Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

May all beings learn how to nourish themselves with joy each day.

Because if the manifestations that happen in the present moment are beautiful and good, their continuation in the future will be also good and beautiful.
