"I want to learn how to be the best receiver that I can ever be, because I think graceful receiving is one of the most wonderful gifts we can give anybody. If we receive what somebody gives us in a graceful way, we've given that person a wonderful gift."

"It is a state of peace to be able to accept things as they are. This is to be at home in our own lives.

This is the gift of equanimity."
