If you go deeper and deeper into your own heart, you'll be living in a world with less fear, isolation and loneliness.

Detachment is not about refusing to feel or not caring or turning away from those you love. Detachment is profoundly honest, grounded firmly in the truth of what is.

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

Loving-kindness and compassion are the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle, and sometimes fierce actions that can really make a difference - in our own lives and those of others.

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!"

We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it.

Even in the midst of devastation, something within us always points the way to freedom.
