Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

Meeting people in a genuine way and feeling like there is a vital and meaningful connection going on makes me come alive.

We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on.

Meditation has made me happy, loving, and peaceful-but not every single moment of the day. I still have good times and bad, joy and sorrow. Now I can accept setbacks more easily, with less sense of disappointment and personal failure, because meditation has taught me how to cope with the profound truth that everything changes all the time.

In Buddhist teaching, ignorance is considered the fundamental cause of violence - ignorance... about the separation of self and other... about the consequences of our actions.

We find greater lightness & ease in our lives as we increasingly care for ourselves & other beings.

By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.
