We humans have come to a crossroads in our history: we can either destroy the world or create a good future.

For a lot of us, the opposite of auspicious coincidence is obstacles. Life usually is a mixture of both, but as we begin to exhibit exertion, more and more auspiciousness happens.

Part of the notion in Shambhala teachings is that everybody can live their lives so they get weaker and more stressed out as they go along, or so they get more fortitude and strength.

I want people to know you can live a life that is less aggressive and still have success.

Shambhala is a tradition where there were rulers, kings, and powerful people who actually were very benevolent and kind. They got things done, and they didn't abandon their tradition.

The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.

Even when we speak of selflessness, the mind goes to "me." We think, "I'm selfless," but everything is selfless.
