Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.

True giving is a thoroughly joyous thing to do. We experience happiness when we form the intention to give, in the actual act of giving, and in the recollection of the fact that we have given. Generosity is a celebration. When we give something to someone we feel connected to them, and our commitment to the path of peace and awareness deepens.

Mindfulness needs to not be judgmental to really be mindfulness, which means it needs a basis of loving kindness.

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make friends with the quietness of our sensations.

Training our mind through meditation does not mean forcibly subjugating it or beating it into shape.

What you learn about pain in formal meditation can help you relate to it in your daily life.

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