Suffering lets us see where are attachments are - and that helps us get free.

All that you seek is already within you. In Hinduism it is called the Atman, in Buddhism the pure Buddha-Mind. Christ said, 'the kingdom of heaven is within you.' Quakers call it the ‘still small voice within.’ This is the space of full awareness that is in harmony with all the universe, and thus is wisdom itself.

Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.

Our journey is about being more deeply involved in life, and yet less attached to it.

So many times each day we support each other informally without ever becoming 'helper' or 'helped.' Perhaps we're finding an article of clothing for a partner, cutting bread for one of the children, collecting the mail for the person at the next desk, holding the coat for someone at a restaurant.

Faith is in the soul. Belief is thought. Faith is so rich. Faith gives me my spiritual self.
