When we ask an open question, we have not yet found an answer.

And this leaves the mind free, unobstructed, and ready for adventure…

There is nothing ignorant or vague about this openness, because questioning actively engages the movement and fluidity of life.

Stillness in the midst of motion and commotion is free of will, direction, and time.

It is a complete letting be of what is, from moment to moment.

Compassion

Remember that you don’t have to like or admire someone to feel compassion for that person.

All you have to do is wish for that person to be happy.

The more you can develop this attitude toward people you know have misbehaved, the more you’ll be able to trust your intentions in any situation.

Cultivating skillful effort, we learn to distinguish the “right” amount of effort. Not too little. Not too much. Just right. In tune. When we find the right pitch, our practice flourishes.

The essence of spiritual practice is remembrance, whether it’s remembering to come back to the present moment or recalling the truth of impermanence.

By extinguishing the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion, we are transforming our emotional range.

Emotions such as kindness, generosity, compassion, confidence, and gladness for the good fortune of others continue to function and are even enhanced by being uncovered.
