Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart.

Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart.

The mind is the source of all experience, and by changing the direction of the mind, we can change the quality of everything we experience.

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

When you see your own desire to be happy, you can't avoid seeing the same desire in others.

Within our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.

Though we may be genetically wired for temporary happiness, we've also been gifted with the ability to recognize within ourselves a more profound and lasting sense of confidence, peace, and well-being. Among sentient beings, human beings appear to stand alone in their ability to recognize the necessity to forge a bond between reason, emotion, and their instinct to survive, and in doing so create a universe-not only for themselves and the human generations that follow, but also for all creatures who feel pain, fear and suffering-in which we are all able to coexist contentedly and peaceably.
