Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak,, vulnerable with the vulnerable,, and powerless with the powerless.. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.

The critical element in meditation practice is beginning again... Everyone loses focus at times,, everyone loses interest at times,, and everyone gets distracted over and over again..

' Let It Be '...
When people say "Let it go,",, what they really mean is "Get over it,".. and that's not a helpful thing to say.. It's not a matter of letting go ,, you would if you could..

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science,, to the study of matter,, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much.. There is no matter as such..

This new day is too dear,, with its hopes and invitations,, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
