In meditation, we are continuously discovering who and what we are.

Wisdom is not something we have to strive to acquire. Rather, wisdom arises naturally as we open our hearts to the truth of what is.

The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.

When we understand that peace is not dependent on external conditions, we can find it in the midst of any circumstance.

Our task is to learn to see clearly what is happening in each moment, rather than be lost in our reactions and judgments.

The whole path of mindfulness is about letting go. We let go of our attachment to our views, our attachment to our opinions, our attachment to our ideas.

The more we understand the nature of our mind, the more we understand the nature of our world.

The deepest happiness comes from having an enduring sense of purpose, one that gives our lives meaning beyond the endless pursuit of pleasure and success.

Suffering comes from our resistance to what is. Peace comes from our acceptance of what is.

The willingness to empty ourselves and then seek our true nature is an expression of great and courageous love.

The essence of the spiritual journey is the uncovering of what is always already present.

Freedom is not found in the absence of difficulty, but in our relationship to it.

When we see the nature of the mind, we see that we are not our thoughts.

The challenge in meditation is not to eliminate thinking but to understand the nature of thought itself.

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.

Every time we become aware of a thought, as opposed to being lost in a thought, we experience that opening of the mind.

The practice is simply this: keep coming back to your breath during the day. This will give your mind a steadiness and your life a balance.

Mindfulness is the key to the present moment. Without it we cannot see the world clearly, and we cannot make the wisest choices in our lives.

The practice of mindfulness is simply to bring awareness to what we are doing, what we are saying, and what we are thinking.

The path is not about perfecting ourselves, but about perfecting our love.
