Caring for things, in moments of appreciation, in moments of gratitude, letting go of holding on to ourselves, and looking at the world around us; whenever we connect with sorrow, or joy, dropping our resentments and complaints; this will awaken our heart.

Don’t saddle yourself with extra responsibilities, keep your life simple, give up as much as possible.  Renounce unnecessary cravings and desires, leave behind the trappings of wealth and success.  Live in the moment, it brings knowledge, and it brings joy.

There is an underlying essence or energy that is inherent in the universe, try to find it you can’t, it permeates everything and everybody, use it and it is inexhaustible.  Using it, our dualities will be forgotten and forms will emerge with incredible depths and dimensions.

The purpose of the ancient teachings is to offer guidance in one’s daily life and to avoid misconduct.  They show us how to explore natural and social phenomena.  They show us how to use our abilities and offer them to all without selfish motives.

Quote: When a caterpillar thought her world was over, she became a butterfly.
