Life's work is to wake up, to let the things that enter your life wake you up rather than put you to sleep.

While we are sitting in meditation, we are simply exploring humanity and all of creation in the form of ourselves.

We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake

The essence of generosity is letting go. Pain is always a sign that we are holding on to something - usually ourselves.

All the wars, all the hatred, all the ignorance in the world come out of being so invested in our opinions.

Although we have the potential to experience the freedom of a butterfly, we mysteriously prefer the small and fearful cocoon of ego.

As we learn to have compassion for ourselves, the circle of compassion for others - what and whom we can work with, and how - becomes wider.
