I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.

Loving kindness is the spirit of friendship toward yourself and others.

The meditation traditions I started and have continued practicing have all emphasized inclusivity: anyone can do this who is interested.

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.

Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.

It is in the act of offering our hearts in faith that something in us transforms... proclaiming that we no longer stand on the sidelines but are leaping directly into the center of our lives, our truth, our full potential.

Loving-kindness and compassion are the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle, and sometimes fierce actions that can really make a difference - in our own lives and those of others.
