In the world of Buddhist mind, in the advanced states, we go beyond time, space, life, death and Newsweek.

People who want to go to power places all of the time and want to be around powerful people, they don't last long in the study.

When you die you forget. Death is a sleep, a forgetting. You forget about your previous lifetime. The essence of your being is the same. But at death, the personality dissolves

Why waste your time being around people who drag you down? You don't live forever, at least in this life.

We interact with others and we decide who we are. Are we reclusive? Are we outgoing? Are we successful? Are we going to be a failure? We cast a role for ourselves and we step into it.

I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.

In meditation all the fake dull thoughts that you think, all the ridiculous philosophies, the necessities, all the things that won't matter a bit when you are dead - fade away.
