“We have the power to improve our work lives immeasurably through awareness, compassion, patience & ingenuity.”

Sometimes kindness is stepping aside, letting go of our need to be right & just being happy for someone.

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

We’re capable of much more than mediocrity, much more than merely getting by in this world.

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.

Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it.

The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.

Compassion is no substitute for justice.

Compassionate conservative. I don’t know what that is, it sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack.

A woman’s compassion and gentleness are often taken for her weakness, never push someone to a point where they have nothing to loose anymore, you only give them a freedom not many know, such people don’t only become dangerous but lethal as well

Compassion is the currency that leads to true wealth.

Without suffering, there’d be no compassion.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.
