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

To discover your real questions, simply take a time-out. Stop looking ahead of yourself at where you’re going or backward at where you’ve been. When you do stop, there’s a sense of going nowhere. There’s a sense of gap, which is a tremendous relief. You can simply breathe and be who you are.

Sometimes we are too polite with our suffering and allow it to dominate our life.

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.

Meditation is simply getting to know your mind.

The true opponent in a debate on emptiness is your own ego.

The truth about who we really are, beyond all appearances, is knowledge worth seeking.
