“Too often, people think that solving the world's problems is based on conquering the earth, rather than touching the earth, touching ground.”

“Hope and fear cannot alter the season.”

“When you eat with awareness, you find that there is more space, more beauty. You begin to watch yourself, to see yourself, and you notice how clumsy you are or how accurate you are…When you practice awareness, everything becomes majestic and good. You begin to see that you have been leading a different kind of life in the past. You had the essence of mindfulness already, but you hadn’t discovered it.”

“Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.”

“A man will give up almost anything except his suffering.”
