In meditation we are continuously discovering who and what we are.

If you want to be miserable, think of yourself. If you want to be happy, think of others.

True happiness is always available to us, but first we have to create the environment for it to flourish.

I think Shambhala can be a very strong force as a social example of how you can try to live a life balanced in terms of both the spiritual and the secular.

Every moment of our life is important.

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

If we do not push ourselves enough, we do not grow, but if we push ourselves too much, we regress. What is enough will change, depending on where we are and what we are doing. In that sense, the present moment is always some kind of beginning.
