Life's Work Is To Wake Up, To

The Truth You Believe And Cling To Makes You Unavailable To Hear Anything New.

Simply Be Present With Your Own Shifting Energies And With The Unpredictabilit Y Of Life As It Unfolds.

Nobody Else Can Really Begin To Sort Out For You What To Accept And What To Reject In Terms Of What Wakes You Up And What Makes You Fall Asleep. No One Else Can Really Sort Out For You What To Accept - What Opens Up Your World - And What To Reject - What Seems To Keep You Going Round And Round In Some Kind Of Repetitive Misery.

There's Nothing More Important On Our Spiritual Path Than Developing Gentleness To Oneself.

Buddhism Itself Is All About Empowering Yourself, Not About Getting What You Want.
