The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive.

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.

If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos - the trees, the clouds, everything.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
