Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.

To reteach a thing its loveliness is the nature of metta. Through lovingkindness, everyone & everything can flower again from within.

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

To relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment & thus true love.

Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.

When we see the relatedness of ourselves to the universe, that we do not live as isolated entities, untouched by what is going on around us, not affecting what is going on around us, when we see through that, that we are interrelated, then we can see that to protect others is to protect ourselves, and to protect ourselves it to protect others.

Faith is not a commodity that you either have or don't have enough of, or the right kind of. It's an ongoing process. The opposite of faith is despair.
