The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our attention.

People turn to meditation because they want to make good decisions, break bad habits & bounce back better from disappointments.

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

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.

Doing nothing means unplugging from the compulsion to always keep ourselves busy, the habit of shielding ourselves from certain feelings, the tension of trying to manipulate our experience before we even fully acknowledge what that experience is.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

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