Our capacity to discover simplicity in each moment is the key to profound happiness and freedom. Simplicity is the source of creativity, intimacy, compassion, and depth. It is authentic inner transformation, born of investigation and understanding, that translates our dreams of simplicity and freedom into reality.
Buddhist Path to Simplicity

Letting Go
If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom.

Powerful, Healing Silence
The mystery of silent awareness transcends all religions and all spiritual organizations. It cannot be purchased, sold, or given away. It may come and go in a flash or linger for a while. There are no rules governing its availability, duration or frequency. No set path or technique will get it for us because it’s not a thing we acquire like a new pair of shoes. This powerful and healing silence has been within us and around us all along. We are in it, and it is in us.

Calmness Within
When we have a balanced inner life we learn to understand ourselves. Recognizing our faults but not judging with our usual intensity will relax and open our heart, which then lets wisdom and compassion be how we react to the people and situations that affect us.
Instead of anger or jealousy, insight and loving kindness can become the way for us, our default mode. This leads to creating a deep calmness within.
