The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear & jealousy. - Sharon Salzberg

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make
friends with the quietness of our sensations.

By engaging in a delusive quest for happiness, we bring only suffering upon ourselves. In our frantic search for something to quench our thirst, we overlook the water all around us and drive ourselves into exile from our own lives.

Can you revise your perceptions to see the world in terms of suffering and the end of suffering, instead of good and bad? To see the world in terms of suffering and the end of suffering is Buddha-mind, and will lead us away from righteousness and anger. Get in touch with your own Buddha-mind, and you will uncover a healing force of compassion.
