To be a spiritual warrior, one must have a broken heart; without a broken heart and the sense of tenderness and vulnerability, your warriorship is untrustworthy.

By means of meditation, I feel that we have planted dynamite to transcend the world of confusion. So it would be good if you could practice meditation as much as you can, as much as physically and psychologically possible. You could become more clear and sane, and you could also influence the national neurosis in that way.

Warriorship is so tender, without skin, without tissue, naked and raw. It is soft and gentle. You have renounced putting on a new suit of armor. You have renounced growing a thick, hard skin. You are willing to expose naked flesh, bone and marrow to the world.

As in music, when we hear the crescendo building, suddenly if the music stops, we begin to hear the silence as part of the music.

Our bodies demand our attention; our bodies demand that we actually pay attention to what is going on with our lives.

Buddhism doesn't tell you what is false and what is true but it encourages you to find out for yourself.

Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.
