To reteach a thing its loveliness is the nature of metta. Through lovingkindness, everyone & everything can flower again from within.

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

The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

Meeting people in a genuine way and feeling like there is a vital and meaningful connection going on makes me come alive.

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.

Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.

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