Everything is unfolding based on causes and conditions. Our happiness or suffering is dependent on how we relate to the present moment. If we cling now, we suffer later. If we let go and respond with compassion or friendliness, we create happiness and well-being for the future.

God has abandoned you. Fear does not serve you. Your heart has betrayed you. Only the music can guide you.

Sitting still is a pain in the ass.

Generosity is revolutionary, counter-instinctual. Our survival instinct is to care only for ourselves and our loved ones. But we can transform our relationship to that survival instinct by constantly asking ourselves, ‘How can I use my life’s energy to benefit all living beings?

Our future experiences will be colored by the choices we make in the present.

The inner revolution will not be televised or sold on the Internet. It must take place within one's own mind and heart.

Happiness is closer to the experience of acceptance and contentment than it is to pleasure. True happiness exists as the spacious and compassionate heart's willingness to feel whatever is present.
