You need to constantly examine your life, inner and outer, to see where you are losing and gaining power.

I have graduate students who have developed this ability to love and want to perfect it. Those are the students I spend a lot of time with because at this time they need that.

If you are a person who wants an uncommonly fine life, if you're willing to put in some time each day to do that, then that will happen to you.

If we view the universe as other than what we are, we are everything we don't perceive.

There are no bad people; there are only bad states of mind.

There are views. And what we see in a view is not necessarily what is in the view, all that is in the view. We have to separate, to some extent, the perceiver from that which is perceived or we have to lose all distinction whatsoever.

That's my sole purpose in life is to sit here today and tell you that you can do this, in any life. You can do this in one of your past lives, in a future life, or right now. I prefer now.
