It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

In order to rally people, governments need enemies... if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

The war is in our souls.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

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.

We do not have to die to enter the kingdom of Heaven, In fact we have to be fully alive. When we are truly alive we see that the tree is part of Heaven and we are also part of Heaven. The whole universe is conspiring to reveal this to us. Peace is available and when we touch it everything becomes real. We become ourselves, fully alive in the present moment.
