At some point your heart will tell itself what to do.

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.

Whenever we feel that we are definitely right, so much so that we refuse to open up to anything or anybody else, right there we are wrong. It becomes wrong view. When suffering arises, where does it arise from? The cause is wrong view, the fruit of that being suffering. If it was right view it wouldn't cause suffering.

If you want a chicken to be a duck, and a duck to be a chicken, you will suffer.

The heart is just the heart; thoughts and feelings are just thoughts and feelings. Let things be just as they are.

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

Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.
