I am more interested in what I can create
than in what I can consume,
in what I can share
than in what I can own,
in living my own life
rather than viewing others on TV or the big screen.
I think for myself and choose my own heroes.
My goal is to be one of them.

Dr. Sami Sunchild

American Artist, Social Entrepreneur and Peace Activist

Most people think of peace as a state of Nothing Bad Happening, or Nothing Much Happening. Yet if peace is to overtake us and make us the gift of serenity and well-being, it will have to be the state of Something Good Happening.

If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. It it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

The church
is only
a finger
pointing
at the moon.

Zen Expression

You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them - no matter how old or impressive they may be - as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much - we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales.

Quotes       

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.

Quotes   Books     

Go down to the beach before the tide comes in,
And write your worries on the sand.
Then watch the ocean come in and wash them away.

Maithri Goonetilleke

(As inspired by his father.)

The real seeker of truth never seeks truth. On the contrary, he tries to clean himself of all that is untrue, inauthentic, insincere - and when his heart is ready, purified, the guest comes. You cannot find the guest, you cannot go after him. He comes to you; you just have to be prepared. You have to be in a right attitude.

Quotes  Books     

Do you think the people who were trying to reach to the Everest were not full of doubts? For a hundred years, how many people tried and how many people lost their lives? Do you know how many people never came back? But, still, people come from all over the world, risking, knowing they may never return. For them it is worth it - because in the very risk something is born inside of them: the center. It is born only in the risk. That's the beauty of risk, the gift of risk.

Don't move the way fear makes you move.
Move the way love makes you move.
Move the way joy makes you move.
