If you are truly wise, you love life very deeply. You love the things in your life, transient though they may be.

You must learn to meditate and stop your thoughts. You must overcome all egotism and selfishness by serving others. You must cleanse your mind so that enlightenment will find a happy place to reside there.

When you are afraid of someone, they can gain power over you, meaning they can drop your energy level.

At the end of meditation period we always bow and we touch our head to the floor and say "Buddha's name be praised."

The mind must be made calm and still. Then it is aimed at the sky, at the brightness, at that infinitude of being that stretches out endlessly in every direction forever.

Meditation is something that is indigenous to the heart, which makes it hard to talk about. We don't necessarily need to talk about it too much other than to get a sense of the practice.

This is the most exciting study there is. It is the only thing I know of in life that makes you feel consistently better, whether it's success or failure, whether they love you or hate you.
