"Being happy where you are does not mean that you must unquestioningly accept parts of your environment that don't serve you. Where you are is inside of this amazing body, this beautiful moment, this capable mind. Where you are is inside of an eternal opportunity. And sometimes you need to change your environment to remember that."

"If our minds are blocked, there is no device that will make up for our inability to communicate with ourselves or others."
Communication
"Worrying does not accomplish anything. Even if you worry twenty times more, it will not change the situation of the world. In fact, your anxiety will only make things worse. Even though things are not as we would like, we can still be content, knowing we are trying our best and will continue to do so. If we don't know how to breathe, smile,and live every moment of our life deeply, we will never be able to help anyone. I am happy in the present moment. I do not ask for anything else. I do not expect any additional happiness or conditions that will bring about more happiness. The most important practice is aimlessness, not running after things, not grasping."
Mindfulness
"All the methods in the search for truth should be looked on as means rather than as ends in themselves or as absolute truth."
Philosophy
"We wanted peace. We did not care about anyone's victory or defeat. We just wanted the bombs to stop falling on us."
Peace
"The person who suffers most in this world is the person who has many wrong perceptions, and most of our perceptions are erroneous."
Perception
"Without suffering, there's no happiness. So we shouldn't discriminate against the mud. We have to learn how to embrace and cradle our own suffering and the suffering of the world, with a lot of tenderness."
Balance
"We fear that this moment will end, that we won't get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe. Often, our biggest fear is the knowledge that one day our bodies will cease functioning. So even when we are surrounded by all the conditions for happiness, our joy is not complete."
Emotion
"If we are aware of our lifestyle, our way of consuming, of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment we are alive."
Lifestyle
"Ignorance is in each cell of our body and our consciousness. It's like a drop of ink diffused in a glass of water."
Awareness
"When you begin to see that your enemy is suffering, that is the beginning of insight."
