"Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy."

"When one of the emperors of China asked Bodhidharma (the Zen master who brought Zen from India to China) what enlightenment was, his answer was, 'Lots of space, nothing holy. Meditation is nothing holy. Therefore there's nothing that you think or feel that somehow gets put in the category of 'sin. There's nothing that you can think or feel that gets put in the category of 'bad. There's nothing that you can think or feel that gets put in the category of 'wrong. It's all good juicy stuff-the manure of waking up, the manure of achieving enlightenment, the art of living in the present moment."
"This meditation is called nontheistic, which doesn't have anything to do with believing in God or not believing in God, but means that nobody but yourself can tell you what to accept and what to reject.The practice of meditation helps us to get to know this basic energy really well, with tremendous honesty and warmheartedness, and we begin to figure out for ourselves what is poison and what is medicin, which means something different for each of us."
"One of the main discoveries of meditation is seeing how we continually run away from the present moment, how we avoid being here just as we are."
"Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better."
"IN practicing meditation, we're not trying to live up to some kind of ideal-quite the opposite."

"People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That's not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn't understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you're given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further."
