How many times have you tried to solve “the problem”? you’ll be trying to solve it not just until you die but for many more lifetimes. Instead, understand that this world is just the play of the senses. It’s the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do with you. It’s just people being people, the world being the world.

Complaining is finding faults, wisdom is finding solutions

Understand the place of love in a spiritual life. A powerful and blissful type of love has no conditions, no ownership and no people involved. Be free from fear. Be who you are. That is love.

My first meditation teacher told me that there is no such thing as a bad meditation. He was right. During the difficult meditations you build up your strength, which creates meditation for peace.

The selfless giving, the service, the kindness which you give out into this world that is the currency of (the) meaning (of life).

Silence is so much more productive of wisdom and clarity in thinking.

The secret of life is... everything is out of control.
