In a room with two chairs, only two people can sit. In a room with no chairs, many people can sit. How many chairs of ideas, belief, and prejudice are we carrying in our mind that allow only a few to sit and leave many others standing?

Sorrow makes us blind. Blind to the suffering of another. Love also makes us blind. Blind to our own suffering. The wise remain mindfully indifferent to all suffering, dissolving all differences that separate the other from the self, knowing all as one and one as all. Arise, awake, live, love, laugh, care, share. Celebrate every moment of this thing called life!

Love embraces what pride ignores...

Freedom embraces responsibility, renounces blame. To blame is to be in bondage, is to be helpless. To be responsible is to be free, is to be fearless. Be free.

The longest journey is the one back home. It is also the one that is most fruitful. And also the one that is most avoided. And also the one that is but inevitable.

Meditation is the art of maintaining an inner detached joyful watchfulness in times when we have that which others covet and in times when we lose that which others take for granted.

Mindfulness is the art of maintaining silence when joyful and keeping a smile when in sorrow.

One cannot be truly fair to what's possible until one includes the possibility of the impossible.
