Meditation has made me happy, loving, and peaceful-but not every single moment of the day. I still have good times and bad, joy and sorrow. Now I can accept setbacks more easily, with less sense of disappointment and personal failure, because meditation has taught me how to cope with the profound truth that everything changes all the time.

You should never use the word Karma when talking about someone else, it's only a concept you should apply to yourself as a matter of investigation.

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

Our path, our sense of spirituality demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity & continuity.

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

It is because of that balanced relationship to the moment that mindfulness serves as the platform for insight... if we feel an emotion, for example, and struggle against it right away, there is not going to be a lot of learning going on. In the same way, if we are swamped by that emotion, overcome by it, there won't be enough space for there to be learning or insight.

Faith is not a commodity we either have or don't have-it is an inner quality that unfolds as we learn to trust our own deepest experience.
