Pema Chodron Inspire Quotations

When you open the door and invite in all sentient beings as your guests, you have to drop your agenda.

Gloriousness and wretchedness need each other. One inspires us, the other softens us.

We can begin to open our hearts to others when we have no hope of getting anything back. We just do it for its own sake.

Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite. It actually takes guts. Each time we drop our complaints and allow everyday good fortune to inspire us, we enter the warrior's world.
