To be afraid of our next life because we don't feel we've done a good job with this life is not wise. It creates unhappiness now.

Learn that happiness comes through self-control and not being angry or jealous. The only one that you really torment is yourself. It is easier to let go and gain new ways of looking at life.

To love is to be balanced, to extend one's self beyond the sense of self.

Life is invisible. The illusion is that what we perceive is in some way not a reflection of self. Life reflects the field of attention that we're in.

In martial arts one of the first things that you learn is to be balanced. Balance is the central principle in architecture and design. Balance is a way of trying to talk about being at the center of things.

The universe is pretty cool. You always exist in one form or another. You are a wave and you are changing and moving from one level to another.

If you have the sense of participation in sports or athletics, of being a player, then you are not really into the Zen mind. In Zen mind there is no sense of self in the play.
