THE LIVING DHARMA:
“[…] There is the spoken Dharma, the spoken teachings of the Buddha, and […] the written Dharma […]. When you practice mindful breathing, mindful walking, mindful sitting, you bring peace to yourself, you get understanding and compassion, and you radiate peace. That is the living Dharma. If we practice, we can all embody and radiate the living Dharma.”

MINDFULNESS: THE HEART OF OUR DEEPEST DREAM
“Our dream of togetherness, of deep compassion for ourselves and others, is possible right here and now. Mindfulness is at the heart of this awakening. We practice breathing to be able to be here in the present moment so that we can recognize what is happening in us and around us.”

THE BUDDHA SEED: “One day, when I was small, I saw a drawing of the Buddha […] sitting very peacefully on the grass, his face was very calm, and he was smiling. I was very impressed [and] made me happy, because so many people around me […] were not […] happy at all. […] I wanted to become someone like […] Buddha.”

ON THE RIGHT PATH: “Happiness means feeling you are on the right path every moment. You don’t need to arrive at the end of the path in order to be happy. The right path refers to the very concrete ways you live your life.”

BECOMING A HERO TAKES TIME: “Most of us are willing to spend […] years to get a diploma. We believe [it] is necessary for our happiness. But very few of us are willing to spend [time] to train ourselves to handle our sadness or our anger, to listen with compassion, and to use loving speech.
If you are able to transform your […] sadness, and despair […] you [… offer happiness].”

TAKING ACTION IN OUR OWN LIVES: “We may have a great desire to live in peace […], but most of us don’t yet have concrete ways to act on that […]. We haven’t yet organized ourselves. We haven’t formed sustainable communities.[…] It’s time for each of us to wake up and take action in our own lives.”

SANGHA ENCOURAGES BODHICITTA: “[…] If you have a sangha that is joyful, animated by the desire to practice and help, you will mature
as a bodhisattva. In a good and healthy sangha, there is encouragement for our bodhicitta. Your sangha is the soil, and you are the seed. […] If the soil does not provide nourishment, the seed will die. A good sangha is crucial for keeping our bodhicitta alive.”

THE POWER TO BRING RELIEF:
“When we're free, we can do so many things to help our people, our community. It's possible to live simply and happily. When we transform ourselves into a bodhisattva, a great being, we generate a lot of power. It's not the power of fame or wealth. It's the kind of power that helps us to be free and bring relief to many people.”

CONVEYING OUR DREAMS:
“We can begin by practicing mindful communication with those closest to us. Then when we speak to our larger community, people will listen because we embody love, peace, and compassion. We have already done our own inner work, and we practice what we preach. With the practice of loving speech and deep listening, we can convey our hopes and dreams to others and offer a path forward.”

SITTING W/ WHAT'S ALIVE IN US: “Sitting meditation is a way for us to return home to ourselves. […] Whether it is in our living room, at the foot of a tree, or on a meditation cushion, we bring our full attention to […] the present moment. […] We let our mind become spacious and our heart soft and kind. The purpose of sitting is to be here, fully present with what's alive within and around us.”
