#RamDass
looks at how we can let go of our fears about change and dying by understanding our true nature:
I have come to trust that I am part of something so wondrous and mysterious and enormous. It’s not me who is taking care of it. My job is to become in harmony with this & let my love my voice my connection my vision come out of that. –

“What level do you want to dance on? As Ram Dass says, ‘You need to remember your Buddha Nature and your social security number.’ You kind of have to hold them both in your heart at the same time.” –

"The earth wants to renew itself. It doesn’t take that much; a little bit of water, a few seeds planted here and here and here, and then all of sudden something happens. And the earth knows in some way, it’s alive, it’s a part of you." –
@JackKornfield
“My first teacher's meditation instruction was boiled down to: don’t make, don’t touch, don’t hold. In other words, when you have an experience don’t make something of it - don’t hold on to it.” –

"A family can be a strangling type of thing that catches you or it can be a vehicle for your freedom. The way you use the family to become free is to become a Dharmic parent or a Dharmic child. You hear the role & you fulfill it impeccably." –
