We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.

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

I call myself a meditation teacher rather than a spiritual teacher.

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

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

When we see the relatedness of ourselves to the universe, that we do not live as isolated entities, untouched by what is going on around us, not affecting what is going on around us, when we see through that, that we are interrelated, then we can see that to protect others is to protect ourselves, and to protect ourselves it to protect others.
