I’m learning that to be at home everywhere, I have to be sure to include the place I actually live.

Even on the spiritual path, we have things we'll tend to cover up or be in denial about.

Every single moment is expressive of the truth of our lives when we know how to look.

Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.

Loving kindness is the spirit of friendship toward yourself and others.

Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others

I am totally amazed at the spread of interest in meditation. When I first came back from studying in India in 1974, I would be asked in social situations what I did. When I replied, "I teach meditation" they would frequently look at me as though to say "That is weird," and sort of sidle away.
