It's all real and it's all illusory: that's Awareness!

Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.

My work as a human being is to quiet my mind, open my heart and do what I can to relieve the suffering with as much wisdom, skill, whatever I got.

The resistance to the unpleasant situation is the root of suffering.

It is possible that in the 21st Century the Earth will not be inhabited by humans. One of the great mystics of India, a very simple man up in the mountains, somebody once asked him about the future. He said there will come a time when you'll walk five miles and you may see a light and you'll be so happy to know another being exists.

I think that people should give gifts by really recognizing the spiritual worth of the person and their (the givers') own worth. You usually give a present that the other person needs or wants, and I think it just emphasizes wants and needs.

Gratitude opens your heart, and opening your heart is a wonderful and easy way for God to slip in.
