 Spiritual practice is a bit like riding a bicycle.
Once you have learnt how to cycle there is no need to go over the theory behind how the gears work or the best height for your saddle every time you go for a ride. All you have to do is get on your bike and start pedalling. And the key to this practice is to do the best you can and don’t worry too much about whether what you are doing is right or wrong; eventually you will get the hang of it. – Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 A New Year’s Resolution
I intend to cultivate equanimity and balance–not to panic when things appear to be off track, and not to relax when everything seems to be going smoothly. I intend to cultivate awareness and presence and not focus too hard on the outcome–paying more attention to the process and developing understanding and sympathy for myself and others. – David Nichtern, “A New Year’s Resolution to Consider “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Truth about Suffering
I once thought Buddhism would save me from suffering. That was before I started to grow older and wiser. And it isn’t so much the wisdom that changed my mind about the end of suffering as it is the aging. – Wes Nisker, “The Question” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 A Precious Death
Where there is no death, there are no risks, and life is utterly meaningless. Life is precious, and so death must be precious too. Our job is to figure out why. – Shozan Jack Haubner, “Consider the Seed” |

 My life is filthy with miracles, and yet droughts last as long as they last. The ice caps melt. Polar bears starve. Right now, that sucks. But maybe it’s more important to be driven into despair, humility, and open mind than to get my way in any given moment.

 Uncovering Love
Because a loving heart is the very nature of every human being, to cultivate love does not mean to fabricate something that is not already present. Rather, it means to identify and gradually remove the many obstacles that block access to our loving heart. – Beth Roth, “Family Dharma: A Bedtime Ritual” |

 The Luminous Gap
Entering the awakened state of mind, even for a moment, is always preceded by an experience, however fleeting, of extreme contrast and conflict. Even on the highest and most subtle levels of attainment, negative and positive continue together side by side, until one makes the leap beyond them both. – Francesca Freemantle, “The Luminous Gap in Bardo” |
