Love Is Effortless Attention.

Real Love Cannot Be Deceived Because It Wants Nothing Outside Of Itself

Everything Passes. There Is Great Beauty In This, Both In The Passing Of Pain And In The Passing Of Pleasure. When Things Present Themselves To You As Permanent, Don't Believe It.

Real Achievement -- The True Measure Of How Far We Have Advanced In Life -- Is Not Determined By What We Have Acquired, But Rather By The Degree To Which We Have Put Our Fears Behind Us.

Trying To Change Ourselves In Order To Please Others - So That We Can Feel Temporarily Whole For Having Won Their Approval - Is Like Cutting A Flower Into Pieces So That It Will Fit Into A Vase.

A Whole New Kind Of Spiritual Happiness Dawns In Us As We Realize That Dark Clouds Do Not Ruin Sunny Skies... They Merely Pass Through Them To Help Us Remember Our Love Of The Light.
