Everything can be used as an invitation to meditation

...we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the buddha nature as our innermost essence. . . .

More and more, I have come to realize how thoughts and concepts are all that block us from always being . . . in the absolute. . . . When the view is there, thoughts are seen for what they truly are: fleeting and transparent, and only relative. . . . You do not cling to thoughts and emotions or reject them, but welcome them all within the vast embrace of Rigpa.

It is compassion, then, that is the best protection; it is also, as the great masters of the past have always known, the source of all healing.

Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha.

Western laziness consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so that there is no time at all to confront the real issues.

Let your heart go out in spontaneous and immeasurable compassion.
