People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child-our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

Thich Nhat Hanh

 Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.  ~Chief Seattle, 1855

Ten thousand flowers in spring,

the moon in autumn,

a cool breeze in summer,

snow in winter.

If your mind isn't clouded

by unnecessary things,

this is the best season of your life.

~ Wu Men, Song period Chán master most famous as the compiler of and commentator on the 48-koan collection The Gateless Gate

In today’s interconnected and globalized world, it is 

now commonplace for people of dissimilar world views, 

faiths and races to live side by side. It is a matter of 

great urgency, therefore, that we find ways to 

cooperate with one another in a spirit of mutual 

acceptance and respect.

Dalai Lama

“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”
