Peace
Peace in oneself, peace in the world.
My actions are my only true belongings.
You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.
When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.
Everyone know that peace has to begin with oneself, but not many people know how to do it.
There is no path to peace. The path is peace.
The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.
When you practice walking meditation you touch the ultimate, the Kingdom of God, with your feet, your mind and your whole body.
Mindfulness is the awareness of what is going on in us and around us in the present moment. It requires stopping, looking deeply, and recognizing both the uniqueness of the moment and its connection to everything that has gone on before and will go on in the future.
The kingdom of God is available to you in the here and the now. But the question is whether you are available to the kingdom. Our practice is to make ourselves ready for the kingdom so that it can manifest in the here and the now. You don't need to die in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. In fact, you have to be truly alive in order to do so.
