By growing a spiritual practice, we are given all that we need.
Tantra is for the advanced spiritual practitioner who is ready to push aside spiritual practice in the name of spiritual practice.
. . . in the spiritual life you must practice. And the only way to practice is by trying to solve your problems with prayer. This develops your spiritual power and it also trains you to use that spiritual power in the most effective way.
If you think of spiritual practice as unpleasant work - it is not spiritual practice as I know it.
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
I think we need to be human. Nobody is objective. We need to go in and be human - especially today, especially given everything that's happening around us, especially given the divides between populations that are growing and what's at stake in terms of our collective humanity, and the fact that our moral compass is broken.
A lot of times people do spiritual practice just for themselves. I try to turn that a little bit. I try to make spiritual practice more a part of the community. I write about infusing people with compassion.
Thirty years of spiritual practice has given me the realization that emotions are based on our perceptions, whether or not they are based on reality.
There isn't anything except your own life that can be used as ground for your spiritual practice. Spiritual practice is your life, twenty-four hours a day.
The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.
It is never a good practice to continue to sleep after sunrise. We should not think of staying in bed once we are awake; it increases laziness and dullness. Those who cannot decrease the amount of sleep quickly may do it in gradual stages. Those who do regular spiritual practice do not need much sleep.
Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
Teaching a practice can also be a hindrance if it becomes one's identity. To be a spiritual teacher is a temporary function. I'm a spiritual teacher when somebody comes to me and some teaching happens, but the moment they leave I'm no longer a spiritual teacher. If I carry the identity of spiritual teacher, it will cause suffering.
Spiritual practice is not just sitting and meditation. Practice is looking, thinking, touching, drinking, eating and talking. Every act, every breath, and every step can be practice and can help us to become more ourselves.
We are all continually asked to learn how to ask for what we need, only to practice accepting what we're given.
I've never seen service as separate from my spiritual practice or my spiritual teaching.
There is no fundamental difference between the preparation for death and the practice of dying, and spiritual practice leading to enlightenment.
