If we can let go of our various worries and cares, peace will arise in our hearts

This is why the Buddha taught us to center our hearts in concentration so as to give rise to stillness, peace, and the inner wealth with which we’ll be able to pay off all of our debts.

We went to a preschool to learn life lessons. It sounds odd but we did it.

Understanding that we all want happiness and don’t want suffering is the basis for love, compassion, kindness.

Grace provides the framework within which a meaningful life is lived

Love is the substance of it day to day. To live a spiritual life, then, is essentially to do things “for the love of it”—to do things without attachment to a result or reward.

Patience is the only thing that defeats anger

Don’t be disappointed if you can’t do it right away.

Even after years of practice you may find that you’re still losing your temper. It’s all right.

But you will also notice that the power of anger has weakened, that it doesn’t last as long, and does not as easily turn into hatred.

Something happens when we don’t resist, when we don’t hate ourselves for what we’re experiencing

Our hearts open, and we realize we’re not alone in our suffering.

Even the suffering, we begin to see, is a vehicle for a larger sense of connection to all of life.

Once we have that, we have faith.

Real peace is not simply the absence of violent conflict but a state of harmony: harmony between people; harmony between humanity and nature; and harmony within ourselves.

Compassion acts like preventative medicine for many of our afflictions

The greater our compassion, the more peace we will experience.
