In order to do anything about the suffering of the world we must have the strength to face it without turning away.

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

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

As an ability, love is always there as a potential, ready to flourish and help our lives flourish. As we go up and down in life, as we acquire or lose, as we are showered with praise or unfairly blamed, always within there is the ability of love, recognized or not, given life or not.

Effort is the unconstrained willingness to persevere through difficulty.

Meditation isn’t about what’s happening; it’s about how you relate to what’s happening.

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