Meditation means to look deeply, to touch deeply, so we can realize we are already home.

The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.

Everything inside and around us wants to reflect itself in us. We don't have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the still water of our heart.

Guarding knowledge is not a good way to understand. Understanding means to throw away your knowledge.

We have the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast. But in the name of freedom, people have done a lot of damage. I think we have to build a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast in order to counterbalance. Because liberty without responsibility is not true liberty. We are not free to destroy.

When you learn how to suffer, you suffer much less.

The war is in our souls.
