Practice is personal; no two people's experiences are alike.

The expectations you bring to meditation practice are often the greatest obstacles you will encounter.

It’s so easy to think that we’re the only ones who suffer, while other people are somehow immune to pain, as though they’d been born with some kind of special knowledge about being happy, that, through some cosmic accident, we never received. Thinking in this way, we make our own problems seem much bigger than they really are.

When you transform your mind, everything you experience is transformed.

The opportunity to experience yourself differently is always available.

TO CUT THROUGH problems, we need problems.

Simply notice that you're aware. At any given moment, you can choose to follow the chain of thoughts, emotions, and sensations that reinforce a perception of yourself as vulnerable and limited, or to remember that your true nature is pure, unconditioned, and incapable of being harmed.
