To offer our hearts in faith means recognizing that our hearts are worth something, that we ourselves, in our deepest and truest nature, are of value.

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

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make friends with the quietness of our sensations.

Meditation isn’t about what’s happening; it’s about how you relate to what’s happening.

Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.

The quality of mindfulness does not just know something is happening - e.g. there is an emotion, a sensation - but knows without clinging or condemning.

Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.
