Pema Chödrön
“meditation isn’t about getting rid of thoughts—you’ll think forever.”
Pema Chödrön, Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living

Pema Chödrön
“Even if we’re alone, our yawns and farts communicate.”
Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Pema Chödrön
“If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.”
Pema Chodron

J. Krishnamurti
“Ambitious men and women do not know what love is, and we are dominated by ambitious people. That is why there is no happiness in the world, and why it is very important that you, as you grow up, should see and understand all this, and find out for yourself if it is possible to discover what love is. You may have a good position, a very fine house, a marvellous garden, clothes; you may become the prime minister; but without love, none of these things has any meaning.”
J. Krishnamurti, On Love and Loneliness: A Compelling Investigation of Intimate Relationships, Isolation, and Self-Knowledge

Pema Chödrön
“The difference between theism and nontheism is not whether one does or does not believe in God. . . Theism is a deep-seated conviction that there's some hand to hold: if we just do the right things, someone will appreciate us and take care of us. . . Nontheism is relaxing with the ambiguity and uncertainty of the present moment without reaching for anything to protect ourselves.”
Pema Chodron
