On a relative level where we live, we need to have a sense of identity, otherwise we'd fall apart, wouldn't we?

The nature of the mind is completely incredible.

The future of Dharma is in women's hands now because they have this energy which was never really tapped.

There is a tremendous rise now in feminine awareness and wishing for equality, equal opportunities.

Develop confidence in your innate qualities and believe that these qualities will be brought to fruition.

We live in a society which is heading in one direction, so it's good to have at least a few friends who share the same values and can encourage us and help us to remember that we're not alone or peculiar, but that what we're doing is a very valid way of life. This will encourage us to put the Dharma at the centre of our life and not the periphery, to use our daily life as our Dharma practice.

The world is full of incredible people who are embodiments of compassion. Some of them have a spiritual path; some of them don't.
