Success will come about because you are in a higher state of mind. If you create good karma, then you will go into higher states of mind.

As an enlightened teacher of Buddhism, I'd like to welcome you to the pathway to enlightenment. I'd like to encourage you to be more positive, to engage in the practice meditation, to learn how to do this wonderful thing - make your mind still in a crazy world.

Most people lead their lives like they drive their cars.

Your life may be draining away. Every day you may be getting older instead of younger, more frustrated instead of happier. Your job, your relationships may not be evolving - then your power is dwindling.

You don't live forever, at least in this life.

Your life either takes your energy or gives you energy. Set up your life so that it gives you energy.

Sit in front of an object of concentration with the eyes open. Focus on a candle flame, or a yantra, a little dot, something small. Just look at it. Focus on it until there is nothing else in your mind. This develops willpower.
