Featured Aspirations

  • I aspire to work hard & have fun in service to all sentient beings & our planet.

    It's a wonderful life, and there's no greater joy for any of us than using whatever our talents are to alleviate suffering.

    As Ginsberg said, "To ease the pain of living / Everything else, drunken dumbshow."

    Waylon Lewis
    Founder, Elephant Journal

  • I would like to live the rest of my life in such a way that it would enhance the lives of others, all others, other animals, trees, even the planet Earth Herself and in doing so catch the attention of Lord Krishna and be able to get to know Him better.

    Sharon Gannon
    Cofounder Jivamukti Yoga

  • May my actions be grounded in love for myself and all beings, and help cultivate peace.

    Sharon Salzberg
    Teacher, NY Times Best Selling Author & Cofounder of Insight Meditation Society

  • I aspire to remain in service to God, this planet, and each other in the name of peace, freedom, equality and love. I aspire to be fearless, shamelessly outspoken, and stay, every day, every moment, in infinite gratitude for the Mystery, the beauty, the humanity, the fragility, the perfect imperfection, of it all.

    Seane Corn
    Yoga Teacher, Activist and Co-Founder: Off the Mat, Into the World®

  • I aspire to read more poetry, to sing it in my sleep, to share it when I can.

    Gregory Maguire
    Author of many best selling books, such as Wicked and most recently Out of Oz

  • I aspire to take responsibility for the energy I bring to any circumstance and I aspire to always lead with love.

    Jill Bolte Taylor
    Neuroanatomist and author of My Stroke of Insight

  • We aspire to live spontaneously, free of wanting things to be different to how they are.

    Ed and Deb Shapiro
    authors of Be The Change

  • I aspire to live in a world where there are more school gardens than McDonalds franchises, where it's easier to feed our kids fruit than froot loops, and where we experience our profound connection to each other and the land through sharing work and sharing food.

    Josh Viertel
    President, Slow Food USA

  • I aspire to take on everything that this world has to offer and give everything it has yet to see, to work my hardest so that when you find my body at rest without its last breath you can bury me in the earth and let the state of the world be my only epitaph.

    Joshua Onysko
    Founder and CEO, Pangea Organics

  • I aspire to neither lead nor follow, but to simply meet whatever comes to me with firm feet, clear eyes and an open heart.

    Cyndi Lee
    Founder, OM yoga

  • May I and all human beings be liberated from narrow views of self, may we fully open our hearts to each other and to this world, and may we live from our deepest nature as love and wisdom. And may humanity learn to honor and protect this beautiful earth as our home, that life may continue to thrive and evolve on this planet.

    John Welwood
    Psychotherapist, teacher, and writer

  • My aspiration is to create the conditions for world peace in my lifetime, and to do so by creating the conditions for inner peace, inner happiness and compassion worldwide.

    Chade-Meng Tan (陳一鳴)
    Mindfulness Teacher at Google

  • I wish for the abolition of nuclear power and weapons.

    Joanna Macy
    Eco-philosopher

  • My aspiration is a nuclear, drone-free world, that takes care of its denizens and inspires artistic creativity in all directions of space.

    A Stupa wakes the world up to itself. It is an Archive of our psyche, our imagination, an inscription of creativity and humanity. It is a memory bank and also a kind of enlightened "time bomb" that may set off dharma activity in further and future galaxies. Consciousness exists on many levels, and we are reminded of this by an architecture that reflects the wisdom mind. Let's help create a world, a universe, without war and cruelty and torture and greed. Vow to help all sentient beings as well as ourselves. And the non-human ones — all that crawl, breathe and swim. It's a vow to sanity. I hope we can participate in the creation of this next Stupa with expansive poetry and music and scintillating images, a poeisis of our speech, body and mind.

    Co-founder (with Allen Ginsberg) of The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, Naropa University
    Distinguished Professor of Poetics, NU
    Chancellor, The Academy of American Poets

    that we may all

    realize the inter-connection of all beings through the greatest love

  • Offering this body, this heart, this mind to the ending of suffering,
    may all beings be free from suffering, from want, from greed, from hunger, from hatred and fear;
    may all beings awaken to who they truly are, seeing that we are not separate from any being or thing;
    may we all come home to our true nature, the natural and boundless heart.

‎"I find that asking myself “What’s not wrong?” has the effect of instantly shifting my mindset, bringing me right back to a positive view, and softening fear…and from there, opening me up to answers we didn’t expect to the problems at hand."
