Equanimity is the balance between feeling your feelings and not getting carried away by them. - Pawan Bareja

Today, may I be more mindful of my body, mind, and speech in my interaction with others. May I, as far as I can, avoid deliberately hurting others. May I relate to myself, to others, and to the events around me with kindness, understanding, and less judgment. May I use my day in a way that is in tune with my deeper values.
- Thupten Jinpa Our society provides no curriculum or schooling on how to notice love or to recognize the many people who have transmitted its life-giving power. - John Makransky
There is also a skill in being a recipient of generosity. In our balance-sheet-obsessed culture one might imagine that we make demerits by being the recipient of generosity, but that is not so. In fact, as a recipient we have a good opportunity to practice generosity ourselves, simply by being a worthy and appreciative recipient. - Bhikkhu Cintita
In this world, nothing is as dear to someone as his or her own life, so there is no greater crime than taking life away, and no conditioned virtue brings greater merit than the act of saving beings and ransoming their lives. Chatral Rinpoche
Experienced mindfulness practitioners must be cautious when entertaining distracting thoughts and afflictive emotions. As the ability and tendency to maintain focused awareness are enhanced, a passing experience can become robustly obsessive. - Tashi Nyima
Life can be like a play with no script. All the more reason to take pleasure in improvising your role. - Shunmyo Masuno
We don’t simply practice emotional intelligence for ourselves alone, but for the people in our lives. - Nachaya Campbell-Allen
If you are firmly convinced that you are a failure, change your mental attitude at once. Be unshakable in your conviction that you have all the potentialities of great
success. - Paramahansa Yogananda After my daughters were born, each time I held their small bodies in my arms - listening to their breath, watching their eyes move back and forth, seeing them smile - I was reminded of one of the most basic of the Buddha's teachings: that all life is precious and that protecting and preserving life is our most important responsibility. — Tsoknyi Rinpoche
