In the collective psyche it is being understood... that we can cultivate wisdom and compassion.

To me, bringing mindfulness-bas ed practices to students, teachers and parents is some of the most important work we can be doing. If we can help the next generation become more self-aware, empathetic and emotionally resilient, they will bring their wisdom to healing the earth and creating a more peaceful world.

Even a few moments of offering lovingkindness can reconnect you with the purity of your loving heart.

Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.

The process of radical acceptance is to accept that a story has appeared in the mind, and then deepen the attention to see clearly what's happening in the body, to regard those feelings and sensations with kindness and acceptance, and to notice how they come and go.

Buddhist practices offer a way of saying, 'Hey, come back over here, reconnect.' The only way that you'll actually wake up and have some freedom is if you have the capacity and courage to stay with the vulnerability and the discomfort.

The main thing going on around intimacy is that we've developed a lot of strategies so we'll be a desirable package.
