To cherish others is to cherish ourselves. To cherish ourselves is to cherish others. And in that same way, we relate to the truth. If we support it, if we embrace it, if we uphold it, we will be embraced by it, we will be supported and upheld by it.

By engaging in a delusive quest for happiness, we bring only suffering upon ourselves. In our frantic search for something to quench our thirst, we overlook the water all around us and drive ourselves into exile from our own lives.

Let the breath lead the way.

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear & jealousy.

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

In a situation of potential conflict, let compassion guide you.
