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

To become effortless takes a lot of effort. It's good to compare it to learning an instrument or learning a sport.

As my lama always told me, I learned that I practice better when I'm by myself.

As a human being, we have everything we need. It's enough suffering to give us incentive to go on, but not so much that we don't know where to turn.

There are wars, there's pestilence, there are plagues, there is corruption in religious circles, corruption in the government, when was it not?

We do have the precious opportunity of this human life.

Even if one isn't a committed Buddhist, it just helps us become better human beings.
