…Masters of all the religious traditions on earth now understand that spiritual training is essential not solely for monks and nuns but for all people, whatever their faith or way of life…The danger we are all in together makes it essential now that we no longer think of spiritual development as a luxury but as a necessity for survival.

~Sogyal Rinpoche

…We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.

~ Henry Miller
