You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success- none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.

Emotions are like waves. Watch them disappear in the distance on the vast calm ocean.

Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering. But there may come a time - just as there does in the development of any skill - when there will be a plateau. You may be bored, discouraged, or even negative and cynical. This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.

What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.

Each person tells you who they think they are, and who they think you are.
