Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.

I call myself a meditation teacher rather than a spiritual teacher.

To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.

True happiness is born of letting go of what is unnecessary.

By engaging in a delusive quest for happiness, we bring only suffering upon ourselves. In our frantic search for something to quench our thirst, we overlook the water all around us and drive ourselves into exile from our own lives.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That's a fact but one we fight.

The most common response I hear when I tell people I teach meditation is, "I'm so stressed out. I could use some of that!" A response I also sometimes hear, which amuses me a lot is, "My partner should really meet you!"
