We suffer because we want life to be different from what it is. We suffer because we try to make pleasurable what is painful, to make solid what is fluid, to make permanent what is always changing.

The most outrageous thing we can do in this world is to accept what happens and fly with it.

As a leader, people push you. They really want to keep pushing you until you get aggressive. Then they say, "Oh, see, it doesn't work."

If we are going to live in a society, there has to be an attitude where people really do care for others.

Shambhala is a Buddhist tradition with its own unique view and approach.

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.

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