To see the preciousness of all things, we must bring our full attention to life Picture Quote #1

This life is a test - it is only a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received further instructions on where to go and what to do. Remember, this life is only a test Picture Quote #1

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting Picture Quote #1

In sitting on the meditation cushion and assuming the meditation posture, we connect ourselves with the present moment in this body and on this earth Picture Quote #1

It is possible to speak with our heart directly. Most ancient cultures know this. We can actually converse with our heart as if it were a good friend. In modern life we have become so busy with our daily affairs and thoughts that we have lost this essential art of taking time to converse with our heart Picture Quote #1

If you can sit quietly after difficult news, if in financial downturns you remain perfectly calm, if you can see your neighbors travel to fantastic places without a twinge of jealousy, if you can happily eat whatever is put on your plate, and fall asleep after a day of running around without a drink or a pill,… if you can always find contentment just where you are, you are probably a dog Picture Quote #1

Ours is a society of denial that conditions us to protect ourselves from any direct difficulty and discomfort. We expend enormous energy denying our insecurity, fighting pain, death and loss and hiding from the basic truths of the natural world and of our own nature Picture Quote #1

Letting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring about them in a flexible and wise way Picture Quote #1

Attention to the human body brings healing and regeneration. Through awareness of the body we remember who we really are Picture Quote #1

Love is based on our capacity to trust in a reality beyond fear, to trust a timeless truth bigger than all our difficulties Picture Quote #1

Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well Picture Quote #1

When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present - our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes our love - everything that moves us most deeply Picture Quote #1

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another Picture Quote #1

There is a web of life into which we are born, from which we can never fall Picture Quote #1

If you put a spoonful of salt in a cup of water it tastes very salty. If you put a spoonful of salt in a lake of fresh water the taste is still pure and clear. Peace comes when our hearts are open like the sky, vast as the ocean Picture Quote #1
