It's one thing to have the attitude of enlightenment and another thing to act in an enlightened way, which is conduct or activity.

We can't hire out our own inner work, but we can do the manual labor with delight and decency.

Being human is a precious situation, and we shouldn't waste time in useless activities.

The principles of Buddhism and Shambhala can be effective in helping the course of what is happening in the world.

Each of us holds human destiny in our hands. It will be completely determined by how the mind feels about itself.

Many of us are slaves to our minds. Our own mind is our worst enemy. We try to focus, and our mind wanders off. We try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night. We try to be good to the people we love, but then we forget them and put ourselves first.

A lot of times people do spiritual practice just for themselves. I try to turn that a little bit. I try to make spiritual practice more a part of the community. I write about infusing people with compassion.
