Everything that human beings feel, we feel. We can become extremely wise and sensitive to all of humanity and the whole universe simply by knowing ourselves, just as we are.

It's not a terrible thing that we feel fear when faced with the unknown. It is part of being alive, something we all share.

When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into it’s dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment

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

Searching for happiness prevents us from ever finding it.

If we knew that tonight we were going to go blind, we would take a long, last real look at every blade of grass, every cloud formation, every speck of dust, every rainbow, raindrop-everything.

The idea of karma is that you continually get the teaching that you need to open your heart.
