“When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.”

“In all ten directions of the universe, there is only one truth. When we see clearly, the great teachings are the same. What can ever be lost? What can be attained? If we attain something, it was there from the beginning of time. If we lose something, it is hiding somewhere near us.”

“Since when one has started dreaming, there were so many cries for help and so many bottles thrown into the sea, that it is amazing we still can see the sea when we should see only bottles.”

“When one has let go of that great hidden agenda that drives humanity and its varied histories, then one can begin to encounter the immensity of one's own soul. If we are courageous enough to say, "Not this person, nor any other, can ultimately give me what I want; only I can," then we are free to celebrate a relationship for what it can give.”

“When "history" loses its "story," it becomes only an empty greeting in one voice.”

“There is a sweetness to life that can only be tasted when our eyes are truly open to our purpose and calling. The taste becomes richer still when we surrender to it.”
