Jack Kornfield Quotes About Children

• Antes pensaba que para ser libre había que practicar como un guerrero samurái, pero ahora entiendo que hay que practicar como la devota madre de un recién nacido. Requiere la misma energía, pero tiene una cualidad completamente distinta. Es compasión y presencia en lugar de tener que derrotar al enemigo en la batalla.

• Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. We can love and care for others but we cannot possess our children, lovers, family, or friends. We can assist them, pray for them, and wish them well, yet in the end their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts and actions, not on our wishes.

• Gratitude is the confidence in life itself... As gratitude grows it gives rise to joy. We experience the courage to rejoice in our own good fortune and in the good fortune of others... We can be joyful for people we love, for moments of goodness, for sunlight and trees, and for the very breath within our lungs. Like an innocent child, we can rejoice in life itself, in being alive.
