The first noble truth of the Buddha is that when we feel suffering, it doesn’t mean that something is wrong. What a relief.

We have two alternatives: either we question our beliefs - or we don't. Either we accept our fixed versions of reality- or we begin to challenge them. In Buddha's opinion, to train in staying open and curious - to train in dissolving our assumptions and beliefs - is the best use of our human lives.

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

We feel that we have to be right so that we can feel good... The whole right and wrong business closes us down and makes our world smaller.

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

Each time you stay present with fear and uncertainty, you're letting go of a habitual way of finding security and comfort.

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