Meditation is simply getting to know your mind.

Two aspects to the relative world: relaxation and time management.

It is not about how much you give, it is about how much you can let go with your mind.

How wonderful it would be, I thought, if only we could practice the teachings of the Buddha as he really taught them from his own experience - free from the clouds of religiosity that often surround them Yet it's difficult to distinguish the tools themselves from their cultural packaging.

It is all up to us. We are the ones who have to keep looking at our thoughts, looking for the nature of our mind. there is nobody else in control of our lives, our experiences, our freedom or our bondage.

When we wake up from our confused state of mind, that is enlightenment.

We actually need intelligent doubt and skepticism; they protect us against mistaken views and propaganda.
