Most of us experience a life full of wonderful moments and difficult moments. But for many of us, even when we are most joyful, there is fear behind our joy.

The sangha is a community where there should be harmony and peace and understanding. That is something created by our daily life together. If love is there in the community, if we've been nourished by the harmony in the community, then we will never move away from love.

Breathing in, there is only the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.

Enlightenment for a wave is the moment the wave realizes it is water. At that moment, all fear of death disappears.

As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves, we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love.

We have to learn to die in every moment in order to be fully alive.

It is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of practice
