All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.

Ignorance, vulnerability, fear, anger, and desire are expressions of the infinite potential of your buddha nature. There's nothing inherently wrong or right with making such choices. The fruit of Buddhist practice is simply the recognition that these and other mental afflictions are nothing more or less than choices available to us because our real nature is infinite in scope.

We're all buddhas. We just don't recognize it.

Meditation is really quite simple. All we have to do is embrace each experience with awareness and open our hearts fully to the present moment. When we are completely at ease with our own being, the ripples of awareness naturally spread out in all directions, touching the lives of everyone we meet.

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.

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

Not recognizing natural mind is simply an example of the mind's unlimited capacity to create whatever it wants.
