When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a candle in a windless place.

This is Dharma. You sit and feel your breath. You can’t say this is a Hindu breath or a Muslim breath or a Christian breath.

The greatest power you have on earth, whether you are an angel, a spirit, a man or woman or child is to help others.

Your soul mission is your reason for being, your life purpose. It's your calling in life - who you feel called to be, what you feel called to do. Mission is an energy that flows through you - a drive, voice, or passion that you cannot ignore. It's what you know in your heart you must live if you are to experience inner peace and harmony.

Being on a spiritual path does not prevent you from facing times of darkness; but it teaches you how to use the darkness as a tool to grow.

You say that you are too busy to meditate. Do you have time to breathe? Meditation is your breath. Why do you have time to breathe but not to meditate? Breathing is something vital to people’s lives. If you see that Dhamma practice is vital to your life, then you will feel that breathing and practicing the Dhamma are equally important.

I am like a tree in a forest. Birds come to the tree, they sit on its branches and eat its fruits. To the birds, the fruit may be sweet or sour or whatever. The birds say sweet or they say sour, but from the tree’s point of view, this is just the chattering of birds.

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.”“Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.”Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
