Nirvana is the pure and perfect schness of thatness of being.

The nuns taught me that the best thing you can do in life when things get difficult is to work.

To perfect your nature means to let go of this world and place your attention fully in the plane of enlightenment.

If you are smart, you never retire. You may retire from that job you have had for many years, but you will pick up another career for yourself of some type.

The teaching that we receive is not necessarily very accurate. The value systems that our cultures have developed are not every open. They are very restrictive. We live in an age that is not enlightened.

I have been sought out by a number of people who would have felt uncomfortable coming to a large public meditation. They don't want people to come up and ask for autographs.

I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.
