“Compassion grows in us when we know how the energy of love is available all around us.”

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.

The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.

Training attention through meditation opens our eyes.

Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest; it never ceases.

Our ability to connect with others is innate, wired into our nervous systems, and we need connection as much as we need physical nourishment.

We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

Kindness is really at the core of what it means to be and feel alive.

The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being; naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.

We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That’s a fact but one we fight.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine.

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make.

The starting place for radical re-imagining of love is mindfulness.

We can free ourselves from the old stories that have reduced us & allow real love for ourselves to blossom.

All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others.

Thinking we are only supposed to have loving & compassionate feelings can be a terrible obstacle to spiritual practice.

Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.

Sew seeds of kindness let your compassion be that for which you are known.

It is through weakness and vulnerability that most of us learn empathy and compassion and discover our soul.

I would rather feel compassion than know the meaning of it. I would hope to act with compassion without thinking of personal gain.

Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.

Society would be a lighter and easier place to live if everyone was compassionate and happy, and didn’t wear deceiving eyes as some people do.

Art is about trying to find the good in people and making the world a more compassionate place.

Sometimes, animals are more compassionate than humans.
