“To meditate is to remember, reclaim, reawaken the ancient art of listening.” – Jack Kornfield
“When the Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree on his night of enlightenment, it wasn’t to do, get, or make something, but to listen inwardly with all of his senses to the nature of this world that we are born into for a time.” – Jack Kornfield
