The mind is like a wild monkey, jumping here and there. But through meditation, we learn to see whatever arises in our mind with more spaciousness and clarity.

Meditation is not about getting rid of thoughts; it's about changing the way we relate to them.

Our task is not to seek for love but to find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking.

The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.

The force of the kindness of others is so strong, we can't possibly measure it.

The cultivation of loving-kindness is the thread that runs through all Buddhist teachings.

Generosity generates its own enthusiasm. We don't have to force ourselves to be generous; we just need to start.

Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.

We need the courage to learn from our experience and the wisdom to be willing to change and grow.

Suffering is not the end of the story; it is the middle of the story.

Real happiness comes from having an unshakable connection to the deep wellspring of peace and happiness that is not dependent on external conditions.

The movement of love is what creates the beauty in our lives.

The first step toward faith is to admit that we don't know everything.

Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.

Love is not a feeling. It's a capability.

The Buddha's teachings are not about abandoning our lives but about bringing the fullness of our attention to our lives.

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.
