By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.

One of the primary conditions for suffering is denial. Shutting our mind to pain, whether in ourselves or others, only ensures that it will continue. We must have the strength to face it without turning away. By opening to the pain we see around us with wisdom and compassion, we start to experience the intimate connection of our relationship with all beings.

As we work to reweave the strands of connection, we can be supported by the wisdom and lovingkindness of others.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others

Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest; it never ceases.

Meditation is a cyclical process that defies analysis, but demands acceptance.

Every day seems to reveal a new piece of research about meditation, or new clinical applications of mindfulness or compassion practice, or new corporations or foundations or non-profits bringing mindfulness to work.
