"What if our religion was each other if our practice was our life- If prayer, our words-
What if the temple was the Earth- If forests were our church- If holy water- the rivers,
lakes and ocean- What if meditation was our relationships- If the Teacher was life
If wisdom was self- knowledge- If love was the center of our being?"

"The deep emptiness of saying goodbye becomes the doorway of awakening.."
FW95
Rashani
"First there is a miracle. Then there is no miracle, then there is."
FW96
Rashani
"There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken, a shatteredness out of which blooms the
unshatterable. There is a sorrow beyond all grief which leads to joy and a fragility out of whose
depths emerges strength.
There is a hollow space too vast for words through which we pass with each loss, out of whose
darkness we are sanctioned into being. There is a cry deeper than all sound whose serrated edges cut the heart as we break open to the place inside which is unbreakable and whole while learning to sing."

"Like a flower beyond death the world-tree is blossoming. Two realms returning to oneness."
F104
Toni Packer
"When the changing states of body-mind are simply left to themselves without any choice or judgment - left unreacted to by a controlling or repressive will - a new quietness emerges by itself."
FW105
Rashani
"What once felt like grief
is now the very substance
of these open wings."
FW106
Rashani
The only question: “To receive or not to receive.” Why refuse such bliss?
FW107
Tara Brach

we need to deepen our attention and touch our real experience."

Tara Brach

F109
Mirabai Starr
"Tragedy and sorrow can accomplish in a single moment what years of sitting on a meditation cushion may never yield: an unequivocal surrendering into the arms of the mystery. "
F110
Mirabai Starr
"Grief is a dynamic, ever-changing reality. There is no check-list to get through, ticking off each task as we complete it, at the end of which we are all better. It is a life-long dance, a constant opportunity to open and grow. The trick is to approach our grief with as much awareness and compassion as we can muster."
FW111
Mirabai Starr
"The world needs you. It needs your bewilderment and your yearning. It needs your broken-hearted compassion and your outrageous boldness in the face of impossible odds. "
FW112
Mirabai Starr
"I would rather make a mistake with love
than miss a healing opportunity out of fear."

It is the dissolution
of the imaginary problem
in the openness of Here/Now."

this is our miraculous
everyday beloved life!"

What is more precious than light ? ... Conversation."
F/LaMotte-1
Fred LaMotte
"God meant to drop this mirror,
shattering into countless images
his perfect gaze.
This is why we meet in brokenness,
putting ourselves together again
through each other,
until we recognize one face
with eight billion reasons
for astonishment."
F/LaMotte-2
Fred LaMotte
"Savor eternity
one moment at a time."
F/LaMotte-3
Fred LaMotte
"There’s a stillness at the center of your heart,
a space where you have no enemy, and you are incomparable. Each faith tradition has a name for it, but what matters most is to stop looking for that place and start looking from that place.
I welcome you here!"
F/Roshi Sôun-1
Roshi Sôun
"The Unborn is never apart
from being born living, and dying.
It is this birth, this living, this dying,
in all of its most intimate details,
the Unborn expressing itself vividly,
