  • We can put our whole heart into whatever we do; but if we freeze our attitude into for or against, we're setting ourselves up for stress. Instead, we could just go forward with curiosity, wondering where this experiment will lead. This kind of open-ended inquisitiveness captures the spirit of enthusiasm, or heroic perseverance.

  • Holding on to beliefs limits our experience of life. That doesn't mean that beliefs or ideas or thinking is a problem; the stubborn attitude of having to have things be a particular way, grasping on to our beliefs and thoughts, all these cause the problems. To put it simply, using your belief system this way creates a situation in which you choose to be blind instead of being able to see, to be deaf instead of being able to hear, to be dead rather than alive, asleep rather than awake.

    Pema Chodron (1996). “Awakening Loving-Kindness”, p.70, Shambhala Publications
  • True compassion does not come from wanting to help out those less fortunate than ourselves but from realizing our kinship with all beings.

    Pema Chodron (2001). “Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living”, p.11, Shambhala Publications
  • Whatever you are doing, take the attitude of wanting it directly or indirectly to benefit others. Take the attitude of wanting it to increase your experience of kinship with your fellow beings.

  • It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens.

  • We can stop struggling with what occurs and see its true face without calling it the enemy. It helps to remember that our spiritual practice is not about accomplishing anything - not about winning or losing - but about ceasing to struggle and relaxing as it is. That is what we are doing when we sit down to meditate. That attitude spreads into the rest of our lives.

    Pema Chodron (2008). “The Pocket Pema Chodron”, p.138, Shambhala Publications
