The wisdom, the strength, the confidence - the awakened heart and mind are always accessible -- here, now, always.

Remember that this is not something we do just once or twice. Interrupting our destructive habits and awakening our heart is the work of a lifetime.

Mindfulness is loving all the details of our lives, and awareness is the natural thing that happens: life begins to open up, and you realize that you're always standing at the center of the world.

In a nutshell, when life is pleasant, think of others. When life is a burden, think of others.

Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

When you have made good friends with yourself, your situation will be more friendly too.

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