You don't have to believe anything, adopt a dogma in order to learn how to meditate.

To be truly happy in this world is a revolutionary act...It is a radical change of view that liberates us so that we know who we are most deeply and can acknowledge our enormous ability to love.

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

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

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.

We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on.

Loving ourselves opens us to truly knowing ourselves as part of the matrix of existence, inextricably connected to the boundlessness of life... when we see that we are far bigger than the person that is delineated by family or cultural expectations, we realize we are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine.
