You don't have to do anything to be happy, nor do you have to avoid anything. Happiness comes from within your mind. Happiness already exists.

The trick is simply to avoid jerks. There are lots of them out there. Most people are unhappy.

Have lots of plants in your house. Nature and plants understand something about stillness and silence. As you interact with the green world, you will find a peace will enter your life.

The things you see are real, but they are not a complete seeing - Samsara.

I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.

When we mediate, we are raising the kundalini through focus, through concentration. There is a metaphysical astral process that's taking place.

As we go deeper and deeper into the world of meditation, we are able to travel along the luminous bands, just like you travel along a highway or road.
