It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years - we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.

In our own lives and in our communities, we need to find a way to include others rather than exclude them. We need to find a way to allow our pain and suffering, individually and collectively.

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

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.

You cannot fail at meditation.

While you are meditating, if your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the present moment.

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