The real meditation is how you live your life.

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

It is indeed a radical act of love just to sit down and be quiet for a time by yourself.

The little things? The little moments? They aren't little.

Patience is a form of wisdom. It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.

Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.

We take care of the future best by taking care of the present now.

If you look hard and long, you can find us. If you listen hard and long, you can hear any of us, call any of us that you wish.

Use your will to conquer fears and weaknesses!
