Via Daily Dharma: Learn When to Quit
Strange as it may seem, stopping is as much an important aspect of practice as starting.

To
see through the veil of what our senses and thinking minds make real, to
the true self, feels often like the highest aspiration of humanity.
When we do this, it’s as if we find our rightful place in the order of
things. We begin to recognize a harmony that’s been waiting for us to
feel and once we do this, it’s not only for the life hereafter or some
abstract thing for later, it’s for now, and for the way in which we live
our lives day by day.

Being
peacefully in relationship to everything made me realize that my
happiness isn’t based on the situation being 'this way' or 'that way' –
my happiness is one which embraces my sadness, and my love is one which
embraces my own hate…

Via Daily Dharma: Meditation Off the Cushion
When

Via Daily Dharma: Attention Reveals Connection
Paying
attention provides the gift of noticing and the gift of connecting. It
provides the gift of seeing a little bit of ourselves in others, and of
realizing that we’re not so awfully alone.
