Mindfulness can play a big role in transforming our experience with pain & other difficulties; it allows us to recognize the authenticity of the distress & yet not be overwhelmed by it.

Vulnerability in the face of constant change is what we share, whatever our present condition.

I have seen that there are a number of people who benefit from doing loving kindness meditation, either prior to or along with mindfulness meditation. It varies from person to person of course, but for many, their practice of mindfulness will bring along old habits of self-judgment and ruthless criticism, so it is not actually mindfulness.

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

Things don't just happen in this world of arising and passing away. We don't live in some kind of crazy, accidental universe. Things happen according to certain laws, laws of nature. Laws such as the law of karma, which teaches us that as a certain seed gets planted, so will that fruit be.

The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear & jealousy.

What unites us as human beings is an urge for happiness which at heart is a yearning for union.
