To observe and watch one's own mind is something really interesting. The untrained mind will run and follow its old habit patterns. Because it has not been trained and taught, it will get lost in all kinds of stories and issues. Therefore we have to train our mind. The meditation practice in Buddhism is all about training one's own mind.

Remember you dont meditate to get anything, but to get rid of things. We do it, not with desire, but with letting go. If you want anything, you wont find it.

Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher.

All religions are like different cars all moving in the same direction. People who don't see it have no light in their hearts.

You should know both the universal and the personal, the realm of forms and the freedom to not cling to them. The forms of the world have their place, but in another way, there is nothing there. To be free, we need to respect both of these truths.

When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness. And when we stop clinging, we can begin to be happy.

If you are still following your likes and dislikes, you have not even begun to practise Dhamma.
