Initially, you have to live a period where you are developing your attitude. I would consider that a meditation: determining what you want to do. You have a period where you meditate and you get the strength.

Our mind is always subject to being distracted by thoughts of what happened in the past and ideas of what could happen in the future, but the living experience is what is happening NOW.

Shambhala teachings say we all have the potential to accomplish our enlightened nature - our basic goodness.

My books definitely are ambassadors, as you called them. They express what the vision is, what the purpose is.

The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.

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

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