Let silence take you to the core of life.

Within yourself is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.

Allow the heart to empty itself of all turmoil! Retrieve the utter tranquility of the mind from which you issued.

Although all forms are dynamic,and we all grow and transform,each of us is compelled to return to our root. Our root is quietude.

Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.

Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

Find your quiet center of life and write from that to the world.

Calmness is the cradle of power.

Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

Find peace in where and what you are.

Calming allows us to rest, and resting is a precondition for healing.

Relax. Just be. And be just.

From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax and be peaceful, we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat, a day of mindfulness, when we can walk slowly, smile, drink tea with a friend, enjoy being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth.

In the point of rest at the center of our being, we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way.

To be calm when you've found something going on

You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go. Don’t ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.
