 With no-mind, blossoms invite the butterfly; With no-mind, the butterfly visits the blossoms; When the flower blooms, the butterfly comes. When the butterfly comes, the flower blooms. I do not “know” others. Others do not “know” me. Not-knowing each other we naturally follow the Way. – Ryokan |

 Why Become Enlightened?
Why become enlightened? This is a question I sometimes ask myself. The answer I give is twofold: to make the world a better place and to avoid the pain of clinging to an existence that is unhappy. My belief is that somewhere down the line these two reasons converge: that my own ability to reach peace with myself will benefit the whole world. – Kate Brandt, “When the World is Perfect” |

 The natural impulse of our hearts and souls when they’re locked in by rigid beliefs is a kind of claustrophobia. We fight back inwardly because nothing in nature likes to follow dogmatic rules. The peace we need in our lives is not a rock, it’s a river. It isn’t rigid, it flows. The “right thing to do” may look different in different situations. – Martha Beck |

 Practicing with Loss
Loss is a fact of life. Impermanence is everywhere we look. We are all going to suffer our losses. How we deal with these losses is what makes all the difference. For it is not what happens to us that determines our character, our experience, our karma, and our destiny, but how we relate to what happens. – Lama Surya Das, “Practicing with Loss” |

Steering the Heart
No matter what situation we find ourselves in, we can always set our compass to our highest intentions in the present moment. Perhaps it is nothing more than being in a heated conversation with another person and stopping to take a breath and ask yourself, “What is my highest intention in this moment?” – Jack Kornfield, “Set the Compass of Your Heart ”

Allow Space for Serenity Many of us try to do so many things at once that there is no space for serenity. We wonder why we are unhappy, why we feel alienated. We just need to remember to practice relaxing into our life, in all its joys and sorrows, and to relinquish the need to know what’s going to happen next. – Michele McDonald, "Finding Patience"
