If you haven't cried deeply a number of times, your meditation hasn't really begun.

We practice to learn how to let go, not how to increase our holding on to things. Enlightenment appears when you stop wanting anything.

Do not be a bodhisattva, do not be an arahant, do not be anything at all. If you are a bodhisattva, you will suffer, if you are an arahant, you will suffer, if you are anything at all, you will suffer.

Some people are afraid of generosity. They feel they will be taken advantage of or oppressed. In cultivating generosity, we are only oppressing our greed and attachment. This allows our true nature to come out and become lighter and freer.

Know and watch your heart. It's pure but emotions come to colour it. So let your mind be like a tightly woven net to catch emotions and feelings that come, and investigate them before you react.

Happiness and suffering do not depend on being poor or rich, they depend on having the right or wrong understanding in our mind.

If you let go completely you will have complete peace.
