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

Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart.

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

So overall, though my life is far from perfect, I'm contented with it. And in a peculiar way, I'm grateful for the troubling emotions I experienced. The obstacles we face in life can provide powerful incentives for change.

Happiness and unhappiness are not primarily created by the material world or the physical body. First and foremost, they are decisions of the mind.

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

There's no difference between what is seen and the mind that sees it.
