When there's a disappointment, I don't know if it's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure.

While we are sitting in meditation, we are simply exploring humanity and all of creation in the form of ourselves.

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

Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.

Every moment is incredibly unique and fresh, and when we drop into the moment, as meditation allows us to do, we learn how to truly taste this tender and mysterious life that we share together.

Ego is like a room of your own, a room with a view with the temperature and the smells and the music that you like. You want it your own way. You'd just like to have a little peace, you'd like to have a little happiness, you know, just gimme a break.

All situations teach you, and often it's the tough ones that teach you best.
