Death is perfectly safe. (55)

The demons aren't the noise. They are our aversion to the noise...when you can accept discomfort, doing so allows a balance of mind. That surrender, that letting go of wanting anything to be other than it is right in the moment, is what frees us from hell.

Death is just a change in lifestyles.

What is it like after you die? Just like it was before you were born.

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. There is nothing to do but be.

If you can find the God inside yourself, you can find the God inside everybody.

Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness at another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel their joy as well. And it doesn't stop there.
