“Holding a form, it comes into being, and while it holds a form it endures; holding a form, it feeds itself and grows big. Giving up one form it assumes another.  When sought, it takes to flight, this evil spirit, the ego, which has no form of its own.”  Ramana Maharshi

Generosity without wisdom can be corrupted by self-flattery.  Without wisdom, you cannot be a perfect person – meaning that you cannot be free from complicated mind.  Without freedom, your good qualities always risk being corrupted.”  Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche

“We need the mind of Christ to process the great questions of love, suffering, death, infinity, and divinity and to be unafraid of diversity and welcoming of union at ever higher and more expansive levels.”  Father Richard Rohr
