If I'm going to die, the best way to prepare is to quiet my mind and open my heart. If I'm going to live, the best way to prepare for it is to quiet my mind and open my heart.

Compassion is the ability to see how it all is.

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

Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.

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.

Words engage our minds, but in the silence we hear the Presence of God.

External silence can be the doorway to inner silence.
