If we could see the whole truth of any situation, our only response would be one of compassion.

All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.

Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart. It's always with us. It always has been, and always will be. When it arises in us, we've simply learned to see how strong and safe we really are.

When you transform your mind, everything you experience is transformed.

The mind is the source of all experience, and by changing the direction of the mind, we can change the quality of everything we experience.

There's no difference between what is seen and the mind that sees it.

Within our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.

Being human means having power; specifically, the power to accomplish whatever we want.
