The most important aspect of being on a spiritual path may be to just keep moving.

Each of us has a "soft spot": the place in our experience where we feel vulnerable and tender. This soft spot is inherent in appreciation and love, and it is equally inherent in pain.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves.

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.

Meditation is not about getting out of ourselves or achieving something better. It is about getting in touch with what you already are.

The more we witness our emotional reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain.
