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

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

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

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.

I'm here to tell you that the path to peace is right there, when you want to get away.

We can put our whole heart into whatever we do; but if we freeze our attitude into for or against, we're setting ourselves up for stress. Instead, we could just go forward with curiosity, wondering where this experiment will lead. This kind of open-ended inquisitiveness captures the spirit of enthusiasm, or heroic perseverance.

Unconditional good heart toward others is not even a possibility unless we attend to our own demons.
