What you learn about pain in formal meditation can help you relate to it in your daily life.

Even in the midst of devastation, something within us always points the way to freedom.

It's a rare and precious thing to be close to suffering because our society - in many ways - tells us that suffering is wrong. If it's our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we're taught to put them away somewhere so we don't have to see it.

Detachment is not about refusing to feel or not caring or turning away from those you love. Detachment is profoundly honest, grounded firmly in the truth of what is.

Meditation is a microcosm, a model, a mirror. The skills we practice when we sit are transferable to the rest of our lives.

Develop a mind so filled with love that it resembles space.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.
