Noah Levine Quotes

The inner revolution will not be televised or sold on the Internet. It must take place within one’s own mind and heart Picture Quote #1

Pain and suffering are two completely difference experiences. Pain is unavoidable. Suffering is self-created Picture Quote #1

The greatest satisfaction comes not from chasing pleasure and avoiding pain, but from the radical acceptance of life as it is, without fighting and clinging to passing desires Picture Quote #1

Finally we are being told the truth: life isn’t always easy and pleasant. We already know this to be true, but somehow we tend to go through life thinking that there is something wrong with us when we experience sadness, grief, and physical and emotional pain. The first truth points out that this is just the way it is. There is nothing wrong with you: you have just been born into a realm where pain is a given Picture Quote #1

Our future experiences will be colored by the choices we make in the present Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one’s life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment Picture Quote #1

The truth is, going against the internal stream of ignorance is way more rebellious than trying to start some sort of cultural revolution Picture Quote #1

We are born into a realm of constant change. Everything is decaying. We are continually losing all that we come in contact with. Our tendency to get attached to impermanent experiences causes sorrow, lamentation and grief, because eventually we are separated from everything and everyone we love. Our lack of acceptance and understanding of this fact makes life unsatisfactory Picture Quote #1

God has abandoned you. Fear does not serve you. Your heart has betrayed you. Only the music can guide you Picture Quote #1

Happiness is closer to the experience of acceptance and contentment than it is to pleasure. True happiness exists as the spacious and compassionate heart’s willingness to feel whatever is present Picture Quote #1

With mindfulness we have the choice of responding with compassion to the pain of craving, anger, fear and confusion. Without mindfulness we are stuck in the reactive pattern and identification that will inevitably create more suffering and confusion Picture Quote #1

Renunciation is not about pushing something away, it is about letting go. It’s facing the fact that certain things cause us pain, and they cause other people pain. Renunciation is a commitment to let go of things that create suffering. It is the intention to stop hurting ourselves and others Picture Quote #1

We have the ability to effect a great positive change in the world, starting with the training of our own minds and the overcoming of our deluded conditioning. Waking up is not a selfish pursuit of happiness; it is a revolutionary stance from the inside out, for the benefits of all beings in existence Picture Quote #1
