If we can feel confident in our goodness, it will illuminate our life and society

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

Even when we speak of selflessness, the mind goes to "me." We think, "I'm selfless," but everything is selfless.

If we cut speed and relax with what’s going on in our life right now, kindness and patience will naturally come about.

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.

Meditation practice is relevant because in meditation our conceptual mind relaxes and we can feel who we are at heart.

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