Bernie Glassman Quotes

When I spend time with students, they tell me that they've read something in a book or heard something from a teacher that they don't think they're living up to.

So how do you care for yourself this minute?

You will be certain to find something you have never seen before. Of course it will be a little thing, but do not ignore it.
