Equanimity is the hallmark of spirituality. It is neither chasing nor avoiding but just being in the middle.

Spirituality does not lie in meditating the body of an ex-master. Spirituality exists in mediating on your own inner body.

Meditation works in many layers. It works in our genes, in our DNA

The path of nonviolence is the path of respect. It is respect towards every being. It is the path of awakening the consciousness of every being.

First of all, Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. If anything at all, it is realistic, for it takes a realistic view of life and the world. It looks at things objectively (yathābhūtam). It does not falsely lull you into living in a fool's paradise, nor does it frighten and agonize you with all kinds of imaginary fears and sins. It tells you exactly and objectively what you are and what the world around you is, and shows you the way to perfect freedom, peace, tranquility and happiness.

If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.
