We share our experience of the Path with others, not to show how much we know, but to reveal how the Dharma informs and transforms our lives. - Tashi Nyima

Facing the truth of our own death can bring us back to life. As we contemplate death that we can no longer take life for granted. - Juliana Sloane
When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready. - Thubten Chodron
You can’t disappear from your life in this world. - Ethan Nichtern
Some spiritual traditions would consider the fact that we’re stuck down here on Earth,
inhabiting these limited bodies, as, well, sort of a drag. Some people want to transcend all that. But in our tradition, we make use of the body. We wake up through attention to the body and everything it experiences. - Gaylon Ferguson What I most love about Buddhism is the egalitarian nature of its core belief in human capability. We all have seeds of wisdom that allow us to become more awakened, compassionate, and adept at facing both life and death. The confidence it takes to
show up to life is available to every human. - Ethan Nichtern When we die, the best outcome is no rebirth. Otherwise, we come back according to the karma that we have accumulated. - Margaret Meloni, PhD
Mindfulness is something we can all benefit from. Since we have a mind, we can train our mind. - Bhante Sathi
Everyone, no matter how privileged, has moments when their world falls apart. - Arisika Razak
We don’t practice the Dharma to evade reality and become more self-absorbed. We practice to reduce self-absorption and benefit others. - Tashi Nyima
