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

The Buddha said that no true spiritual life is possible without a generous heart. . . . Generosity allies itself with an inner feeling of abundance - the feeling that we have enough to share.

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

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

Meditation is not the construction of something foreign, it is not an effort to attain and then hold on to a particular experience. We may have a secret desire that through meditation we will accumulate a stockpile of magical experiences, or at least a mystical trophy or two, and then we will be able to proudly display them for others to see.

What unites us as human beings is an urge for happiness which at heart is a yearning for union.
