So, those who hate, those who are violent in nature, live in a world of hate and fear and violence inside themselves, inside their minds, inside their awareness.

When you die you pass into inner worlds and continue to perceive. Death is not the dissolution of the self. Death is rather just a change in perception.

Everything is dependent upon your state of mind. That is all there is, states of mind, ten thousand of them. Beyond all states of mind is nirvana.

Who we are varies according to our awareness. When you are more aware, you are someone else than when you are less aware.

Human beings affix themselves to things that are of little or no importance. They affix themselves to the transitory, to things that are impermanent, and in doing so, they get all upset

Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.

Buddhism is the study of how to be immeasurably happy.
