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

Dedicating some time to meditation is a meaningful expression of caring for yourself that can help you move through the mire of feeling unworthy of recovery. As your mind grows quieter and more spacious, you can begin to see self-defeating thought patterns for what they are, and open up to other, more positive options.

Compassion allows us to bear witness to suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear; it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal.

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

I've spent quite a bit of my life as a meditation teacher and writer commending the strengths of love and compassion.

To offer our hearts in faith means recognizing that our hearts are worth something, that we ourselves, in our deepest and truest nature, are of value.

In order to do anything about the suffering of the world we must have the strength to face it without turning away.
