[Wu Wei]

One of the approaches that I personally find useful is to cultivate the thought: If the situation or problem is such that it can be remedied, then there is no need to worry about it. In other words, if there is a solution or a way out of the difficulty, you do not need to be overwhelmed by it. The appropriate action is to seek its solution. --The Dalai Lama

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher - Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck - Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a Mosquito - Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

We can experience suffering in even the most beautiful surroundings. Peace is not found outside, but within. ~ Bhante Sujatha


When we carry our emotional thoughts unconsciously, we remain unconscious, and reside in worry and daydreaming. ~ Bhante Sujatha


Thoughts come to our mind quite unconsciously and most of them are emotional. We are easily carried away by these emotional thoughts. However, once we become conscious of them, their emotional control lessens, and we can work with them skillfully. ~ Bhante Sujatha


The first thing is to learn how to quiet the mind, relax the mind, and bring the awareness to the front so that we are conscious of what we're doing when we're doing it without all the commentary. ~ Tenzin Palmo


Awareness must be felt.It is beyond the process of thinking. ~ Bhante Sujatha

"If there is Zen in it, or whatever it is, it comes through if you enjoy doing your work. Anything you do with the best of your capacities is beautiful…Your whole body gets to be a part of everything, and you become free." - Toshiko Takaezu, “Toshiko Takaezu’s Hidden Worlds”
