Mindfulness Compassion
Susan McFee
“Peace: it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”

A few quotes from his video clip:
“Live compassion without the words”
“From the perspective of the non-dual, we already are compassionate.
We are good enough as we are.
It’s more of a matter of uncovering our compassion, instead of building it up.”
If you think of yourself as less than, then remind yourself
“It’s already here.
There is nothing to get.
There is nothing special to attain.
What is special is already here.”
Einstein says:
“We build a prison of our own ideas when we see ourselves as separated from the universe.
Our task is to free ourselves of this prison by widening our circle of compassion for all beings in their beauty.
When we embrace compassion and strive for that place,
we build a foundation of liberation and inner security.”
