Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals.

Everything is fresh, the essence of realization.

One can appreciate & celebrate each moment — there’s nothing more sacred. There’s nothing more vast or absolute. In fact, there’s nothing more!

Somehow, in the process of trying to deny that things are always changing, we lose our sense of the sacredness of life. We tend to forget that we are part of the natural scheme of things.

There's something delicious about finding fault with something. And that can be including finding fault with one's self, you know?

Softening what is rigid in our hearts.

When things fall apart in your life, you feel as if your whole world is crumbling. But actually it’s your fixed identity that’s crumbling. And as Chögyam Trungpa used to tell us, that’s cause for celebration.
