“To be mindful entails examining the path we are traveling & making choices that alleviate suffering & bring happiness to ourselves & those around us.”

“The essence of the Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha) is about identifying the cause of our suffering & alleviating it.”

“We train the mind so that we can enjoy greater peace, happiness, wisdom & equanimity.”

“We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.”

“Loving others is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. Altruism that rewards one's self.”

“We cannot force the development of mindfulness.”

“We are all in this together. Our happiness inextricably is tied to that of all beings.”
