When we trust our creativity we encounter a supreme kind of enjoyment - an amazement at the natural unfolding of life beyond our ordinary way of looking at things.

A mantra is like meeting the Buddha or Bodhisattva himself.

Self-reflection is the gateway to freedom. It also brings greater appreciation and enjoyment. We begin to enjoy spending time with our own mind, and we enjoy reflecting on our experience of the teachings. Like the sun emerging from behind the clouds, the teachings of the dharma become clear.

When we look in the mirror, the one thing we don't want to see is an ordinary human being.

Thoughts and emotions will always arise.

Melting our attachment to self is the most powerful medication for bringing mental and emotional imbalances in check.

Seeing that nothing is solid or permanent you begin to make yourself at home in the unknown.
