Our root fantasy is that "I" am real and that it's possible for "me" to be happy.
In meditation we are continuously discovering who and what we are.
Caring for others is the basis of worldly success.
True happiness is always available to us, but first we have to create the environment for it to flourish.
The self-assured strength that grows from knowing that we already have what we need makes us gentle, because we are no longer desperate.
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.
