We want to infuse our day with good habits so that we can turn seemingly mundane situations into a ceremony of goodness.

We live in a culture where information is becoming easier to access. Certain special practices have been kept very quiet and secret, and those traditions need to be respected. But there are a lot of teachings people can access that would benefit them greatly.

After you run, there's a sense of accomplishment; you feel like your life is meaningful. It's a moment of clarity.

Movement is good for the body. Stillness is good for the mind.

When we appreciate something, that means we have allowed ourselves to relax and take it in.

Shambhala does have unique teachings, as do many Buddhist traditions. For example, certain teachings within Shambhala have to do with raising the personal windhorse, or the energy of the individual, so a person has good fortitude to be able to live a good life.

The wise are balanced, and the foolish are extreme.
