Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.
Be Yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just Be.
Today is the most important day of our lives.
The most important thing that we can do for the healing of our world is to hear inside ourselves, the sounds of the earth crying.
Compassionate listening is to help the other side suffer less. If we realize that other people are the same people as we are, we are no longer angry at them.
At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.
We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.
We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.
If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.
Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.
If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
Letting go gives us freedom and freedom is the only condition for happiness.
By eating meat we share the responsibility of climate change, the destruction of our forests, and the poisoning of our air and water. The simple act of becoming a vegetarian will make a difference in the health of our planet.
Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.
Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive – that you can touch the miracle of being alive – then that is a kind of enlightenment.
May our heart’s garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.
People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don’t suffer anymore.
