In truth, there is enormous space in which to live our everyday lives.

When you open the door and invite in all sentient beings as your guests, you have to drop your agenda.

If you’re aggressive in your dealings, that’s how you’ll be regarded in the world. You might smile and give generously, but if you frequently explode in anger, people never feel comfortable in your presence and you’ll never have peace of mind.

This genuine heart of sadness can teach us great compassion. It can humble us when we're arrogant and soften us when we are unkind.

Sitting meditation gives us a way to move closer to our thoughts and emotions and to get in touch with our bodies.

The future is the result of what we do right now.

You build inner strength through embracing the totality of your experience, both the delightful parts and the difficult parts.
