The more neurosis the more wisdom.

A thoroughly good relationship with ourselves results in being still, which doesn't mean we don't run and jump and dance about. It means there's no compulsiveness. We don't overwork, overeat, oversmoke, overseduce. In short, we begin to stop causing harm.

Honesty without kindness, humor, and goodheartedness can be just mean.

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

Honesty without kindness, humor, and goodheartedness can be just mean. From the very beginning to the very end, pointing to our own hearts to discover what is true isn’t just a matter of honesty but also of compassion and respect for what we see.

To put it concisely, we suffer when we resist the noble and irrefutable truth of impermanence and death.

All situations teach you, and often it's the tough ones that teach you best.
