Some things hurt, you know, and there's pain. But we magnify the suffering of it often, I think, by our reactions.

We don’t need any sort of religious orientation to lead a life that is ethical, compassionate & kind.

By prizing heartfulness above faultlessness, we may reap more from our effort because we're more likely to be changed by it.

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

Everyone loses touch with their aspiration, and we need the heart to return to what we really care about. All of this is based on developing greater lovingkindness and compassion.

In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.

I've always said that lovingkindness and compassion are inevitably woven throughout meditation practice even if the words are never used or implied, no matter what technique or method we are using.
