Kindle Notes & Highlights
As we nourish and heal ourselves, our understanding of the meaning of life will deepen day by day.
Each one of us has our own idea of happiness. We may think our happiness depends on having a certain job, house, car, or person to live with.
If we let go of our ideas, we can allow ourselves to touch happiness right away. Our idea of happiness may be the very obstacle standing in the way of our happiness.
Peace, freedom, and happiness can be found right here in this very life,
if only we can learn the art of handling our suffering.
When we are able to transform our suffering, we do so not only for ourselves but also for all our ancestors and descendants.
We die with them because we don’t have a separate self, we all belong to the same human species.
Insofar as we are still alive, they are also still alive in us. When we can touch this insight of no self, we are inspired to live in a such a way that they continue, beautifully, in us.
But as soon as we stop practicing, suffering manifests.
Time is not money. Time is life, and time is love.
