Inspirational Quotes

[Chy]

Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away
and become something better;
it’s about befriending who we are already.
Pema Chrodon

It may be when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.
Wendell Berry


For my friend who listens...
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force.
The friends who listen to us are the ones we move towards,
and then we want to sit in their radius.
When we are listened to, it creates us,
makes us unfold and expand.
Karl Menninger

When the soul is neglected, it doesn’t just go away,
it appears symptomatically in obsessions,
addictions, violence and loss of meaning.
Thomas Moore

Don’t worry about what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive and do that.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Robert Thurman

"So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found"

As you are

"As you are regardless of feelings about who you think you are.
As you are – regardless of thoughts that disapprove or validate.
As you are – rise or fall, success or failure.
As you are – regardless of how it should be or shouldn't be.
As you are now. Exactly as it all is now.
This is untouched. Simply as you are – you are. Here it is all welcomed. The mere rising of waves can not touch the ocean depths- only still- it remains as it is. As you are. If we neither accept nor reject – then a real allowing is present. This allowing has no requirements of you. No "how to’s." This allowing penetrates all hopes and all dreams. This allowing is the final rest. Stand as this allowing – no need to move.
Give all to that which is allowing now.

[Wolfstarr]

Do not believe in anything simply
because you have heard it.

Do not believe in anything simply
because it is spoken and rumored by many.

Do not believe in anything simply
because it is found written in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely
on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Do not believe in traditions simply
because they have been handed down
for many generations.

But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all,
then accept it and live up to it."

Buddha

PEACE IS EVERY STEP
by Thich Nhat-Hanh


Peace is every step.
The shining red sun is my heart.
Each flower smiles with me.
How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows.
Peace is every step.
It turns the endless path to joy.
