Noah Levine
“While we are in recovery we need to be able to strike a balance between not allowing our ego to do all the talking and not letting our low self-esteem to only present what is wrong with us.”
Noah Levine, Refuge Recovery: A Buddhist Path to Recovering from Addiction

Sun Tzu
“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Sometimes life seems like a poorly designed cage within which man has been sentenced to be free.”
Sheldon B. Kopp, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him! The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients

Noah Levine
“The greatest satisfaction comes not from chasing pleasure and avoiding pain, but from the radical acceptance of life as it is, without fighting and clinging to passing desires.”
Noah Levine, Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries

Thomas Merton
“Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.”
Thomas Merton
