First we have to understand that we are not the mind! We are identical with neither its bright, nor its dark side!

The Buddha’s dharma didn’t teach peace and relaxation; it taught awakening—often rude awakening.

We must reject the artificial and embrace what is real and true: truth in food, community, relationships and self.

Live to learn to love. Learn to love to live. Love to live to learn so that you may live the life that you yearn.

Disasters work like alarm clocks to the world, hence God allows them. They are shouting, 'Wake up! Love! Pray!

Everything will be okay as soon as you are okay with everything. And that is the only time everything will be okay.

You see, gentlemen, they have something to die for. They've discovered they're a people. They're awakening.

Awake my soul.Awake my spirit.Awake my desires.Awake my light.Awake my mind.Awake my hope.Awake my faith.Awake my love.

Spirituality does not lie in meditating the body of an ex-master. Spirituality exists in mediating on your own inner body.

The question isn't whether the world is perfect.The real question to consider is: If it were, would you still be in it?

Perspective is as simple as answering this question: If I had 5 months to live would I experience this problem differently?

Those who are actively seeking enlightenment will not find it because the act of looking for it is the distraction from it.
