We don't experience the world fully unless we are willing to give everything away.

Don’t worry about achieving. Don’t worry about perfection. Just be there each moment as best you can.

We're not trying to be something we aren't; rather, we're reconnecting with who we are.

we come to realize that other people's welfare is just as important as our own. In helping them, we help ourselves. In helping ourselves, we help the world.

Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found.

Ordinarily we are swept away by habitual momentum and don't interrupt our patterns slightly. When we feel betrayed or disappointed, does it occur to us to practice?

Buddhism itself is all about empowering yourself, not about getting what you want.
