• “Meditation is an invitation to notice when we reach our limit and to not get carried away by hope and fear.”
• “Through meditation, we’re able to see clearly what’s going on with our thoughts and emotions, and we can also let them go.”
• “The natural quality of mind is clear, awake, alert, and knowing. Free from fixation. By training in being present, we come to know the nature of our mind. So the more you train in being present - being right here - the more you begin to feel like your mind is sharpening up. The mind that can come back to the present is clearer and more refreshed, and it can better weather all the ambiguities, pains, and paradoxes of life.”
• “The principle of nowness is very important to any effort to establish an enlightened society.”
• “Meditation is just gently coming back again and again to what's right here.”
