I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.

The mind must be developed by you alone. There is no way for others to do the work and for you to reap the results. Reading someone else's blueprint of mental progress will not transfer its realizations to you. You have to develop them yourself.

The meaning of life is happiness.

The only "definitive truth" for Buddhism is the absolute negation of any one truth as the Definitive Truth.

A sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. Physical health, material wealth and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.

Don't be a person of success, be a person of value.
