Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" states the Heart Sutra, one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts. The essence of all things is emptiness.

Whenever you are engaged in something and there is an outpouring of energy, you are in enthusiasm.

It's a wonderful thing to perceive the world and to interact with it and with other people and nature from that deep place of utter stillness, where the compulsion to immediately label and interpret whatever arises around you is no longer there.

To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.

The future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.

True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.

God is not a personality outside of you. What God is, is inextricably part of what you are. God is the dimension of depth within you.
