Treat yourself as your own beloved child.

At the root of all the harm we cause is ignorance.

While we are sitting in meditation, we are simply exploring humanity and all of creation in the form of ourselves. We can become the world's greatest experts on anger, jealousy, and self-deprecatio n, as well as on joyfulness, clarity, and insight. Everything that human beings feel, we feel. We can become extremely wise and sensitive to all of humanity and the whole universe simply by knowing ourselves, just as we are.

All you need to know is that the future is wide open and you are about to create it by what you do.

Whatever you are doing, take the attitude of wanting it directly or indirectly to benefit others. Take the attitude of wanting it to increase your experience of kinship with your fellow beings.

Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth

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