We practice to liberate ourselves from a burden.

As Buddhism moved from one culture to another, it always adapted.

Every day is a new opportunity to work with what you have inside toward enlightenment.

Compassionate action starts with seeing yourself when you start to make yourself right and when you start to make yourself wrong. At that point you could just contemplate the fact that there is a larger alternative to either of those, a more tender, shaky kind of place where you could live.

Feeling irritated, restless, afraid, and hopeless is a reminder to listen more carefully.

The more we witness our emotional reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain.

There's nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.
