Text Quotes
Our true nature is like a precious jewel: although it may be temporarily buried in mud, it remains completely brilliant and unaffected. We simply have to uncover it  (Pema Chodron Quotes) When we scratch the wound and give into our addictions we do not allow the wound to heal  (Pema Chodron Quotes) The still lake without ripples is an image of our minds at ease, so full of unlimited friendliness for all the junk at the bottom of the lake that we don’t feel the need to churn up the waters just to avoid looking at what’s there  (Pema Chodron Quotes) In meditation and in our daily lives there are three qualities that we can nurture, cultivate, and bring out. We already possess these, but they can be ripened: precision, gentleness, and the ability to let go  (Pema Chodron Quotes) What you do for yourself, you’re doing for others, and what you do for others, you’re doing for yourself  (Pema Chodron Quotes) It isn’t the things that are happening to us that cause us to suffer, it’s what we say to ourselves about the things that are happening. The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new  (Pema Chodron Quotes) By not knowing, not hoping to know and not acting like we know what’s happening, we begin to access our inner strength  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Everything in our lives has the potential to wake us up or put us to sleep. Allowing it to awaken us is up to us  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Compassion practice is daring. It involves learning to relax and allowing ourselves to move gently toward what scares us  (Pema Chodron Quotes) We’re not trying to be something we aren’t; rather, we’re reconnecting with who we are  (Pema Chodron Quotes) One way to practice staying present is to simply sit still for a while and listen. For one minute, listen to the sounds close to you. For one minute, listen to the sounds at a distance. Just listen attentively  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Patience has nothing to do with suppression. In fact, it has everything to do with a gentle, honest relationship with yourself  (Pema Chodron Quotes) We sow the seeds of our future hells or happiness by the way we open or close our minds right now  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Whatever you are doing, take the attitude of wanting it directly or indirectly to benefit others. Take the attitude of wanting it to increase your experience of kinship with your fellow beings  (Pema Chodron Quotes) It isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Being satisfied with what we already have is a magical golden key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspired way  (Pema Chodron Quotes) If you ask why we meditate, I would say it’s so we can become more flexible and tolerant to the present moment  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Each time you stay present with fear and uncertainty, you’re letting go of a habitual way of finding security and comfort  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Right down there in the thick of things, we discover the love that will not die  (Pema Chodron Quotes) So war and peace start in the human heart. Whether that heart is open or whether that heart closes has global implications  (Pema Chodron Quotes) I equate ego with trying to figure everything out instead of going with the flow. That closes your heart and your mind to the person or situation that’s right in front of you, and you miss so much  (Pema Chodron Quotes) The biggest obstacle to taking a bigger perspective on life is that our emotions capture and blind us  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Honesty without kindness, humor, and goodheartedness can be just mean. From the very beginning to the very end, pointing to our own hearts to discover what is true isn’t just a matter of honesty but also of compassion and respect for what we see  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Let difficulty transform you. And it will. In my experience, we just need help in learning how not to run away  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Unconditional good heart toward others is not even a possibility unless we attend to our own demons  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it. It is all we ever have, so we night as well work with it rather than struggling against it. We might as well make it our friend and teacher rather than our enemy  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Meditation is not about getting out of ourselves or achieving something better. It is about getting in touch with what you already are  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Since death is certain and the time of death is uncertain, what is the most important thing?  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Until we stop clinging to the concept of good and evil, the world will continue to manifest as friendly goddesses and harmful demons  (Pema Chodron Quotes) Don’t worry about achieving. Don’t worry about perfection. Just be there each moment as best you can  (Pema Chodron Quotes)
