“Altogether, the idea of meditation is not to create states of ecstasy or absorption,

but to experience being.” —Chögyam Trungpa
 

 Chögyam Trungpa was a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master but held titles including spiritual teacher and scholar, poet, and artist, dying so young in 1987 at the age of 48. He left behind a wealth of inspiration and support.

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.

Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” —Barack Obama.

 

But it may be as simple as sharing a laugh with a dear person in your life.
