There isn't anything except your own life that can be used as ground for your spiritual practice. Spiritual practice is your life, twenty-four hours a day.

By the way that we think and by the way that we believe in things, in that way our world is created.

You see, there really is no separation between you and everyone else.

One of the deepest habitual patterns that we have is to feel that now is not enough.

Instead of making others right or wrong, or bottling up right and wrong in ourselves, there's a middle way, a very powerful middle way...... Could we have no agenda when we walk into a room with another person, not know what to say, not make that person wrong or right? Could we see, hear, feel other people as they really are? It is powerful to practice this way..... true communication can happen only in that open space.

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.

Compassion for others begins with kindness to ourselves.
