Dying is the most important moment that exists in any incarnation

If you could stand back far enough and watch the whole process you'd see you are a totally determined being.

Prolong not the past Invite not the future Do not alter your innate wakefulness Fear not appearances There in nothing more than this

Compassion refers to the arising in the heart of the desire to relieve the suffering of all beings.

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.

The art of life is to stay wide open and be vulnerable, yet at the same time to sit with the mystery and the awe and with the unbearable pain - to just be with it all.

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