TEACHING

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”—William Butler Yates

EQUANIMITY

Equanimity is unshakable inner peace balanced with mindfulness, wisdom, and compassion.

Three powerful benefits of cultivating equanimity are: emotional stability, enhanced decision-making, and improved relationships.

SUFFERING

“Pain x Resistance = Suffering. Pain x Presence = Freedom.”—Tara Brach
