Resisting what is happening is a major cause of suffering.

There's something delicious about finding fault with something. And that can be including finding fault with one's self, you know?

Difficult people are the greatest teachers.

If there's any possibility for enlightenment, it's right now, not at some future time. Now is the time.

Resisting what is happening is a major cause of suffering.

When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.

It's helpful to remind yourself that meditation is about opening and relaxing with whatever arises, without picking and choosing.
