Even on the spiritual path, we have things we'll tend to cover up or be in denial about.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That's a fact but one we fight.

As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.

The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.

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.

We apply our effort to be mindful, to be aware in this very moment, right here and now, and we bring a very wholehearted effort to it. This brings concentration. It is this power of concentration that we use to cut through the world of surface appearances to get to a much deeper reality.
