Water flows from high in the mountains Water runs deep in the Earth Miraculously, water comes to us, And sustains all life.

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift!

If you abandon the present moment, you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply.

A human being is like a television set with millions of channels.... We cannot let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to recover our own sovereignty.

Only your compassion and your loving kindness are invincible, and without limit.

Civilisations have been destroyed many times, and this civilisation is no different. It can be destroyed. We can think of time in terms of millions of years and life will resume little by little. The cosmos operates for us very urgently, but geological time is different.

It's like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get a relief.
