I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.

The nature of Buddhism, as I understand it, is to believe that we are all pure and radiant at our core. And yet we see around us so much evidence that people are not acting from a place of purity and radiance.

In every aspect of our lives, we are always asking ourselves, How am I of value? What is my worth? Yet I believe that worthiness is our birthright.

I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Most people when they're walking are thinking about where they have to go and what they have to do. But that removes us from happiness.

I could eat a feeling faster than anybody, put a little hot sauce on it and wouldn't recognize it until it showed up on my behind three days later.
