Compassion is the basis of all truthful relationship: it means being present with love-for ourselves and for all life, including animals, fish, birds, and trees. Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give this world and one another.

If you want to cure the world, don't emanate fear - emanate love.

So you work on yourself as a gift to other human beings. Then you use every situation you have with other human beings as a vehicle to work on yourself by seeing where you get stuck-where you push, where you grab, where you judge, where you do all the stuff.

You're afraid, you will just keep making the fear. If you want to change it, you change from your soul.

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

It's very hard to grow, because it's difficult to let go of the models of ourselves in which we've invested so heavily.

There is only one of us. One consciousness manifesting into different forms.
