Matthieu Ricard Way Quotations

Genuine fearlessness arises with the confidence that we will be able to gather the inner resources to deal with any situation that comes our way.

To grant forgiveness to someone who has truly changed is not a way of condoning or forgetting his or her past crimes, but of acknowledging whom he or she has become.

While it may be difficult to change the world, it is always possible to change the way we look at it.

Transform our way of perceiving things, we transform the quality of our lives.

For a few moments, be aware of your potential for change. Whatever your present situation is, evolution and transformation are always possible. At the least, you can change your way of seeing things and then, gradually, your way of being as well.
