Meditation is a process in which we're essentially, at first, breathing out. We're exhaling existence, taking it out of the mind, and the mind out of the mind.

When you look at a couch you don't really see the couch. You see the couch as perceived by a state of mind.

Nothing is here in this world that is of any interest at all.

There's a place this moment comes from, where it's made. Actually, it's like a big factory where they make moments, where they make realities, where they make infinities.

Death is not the end of who we are. It is only a brief pause in the endless cycle of our lives. Each of us is a spirit that cannot die.

When you do something half-heartedly, you don't get much of a result. When you do it fully, you get a great result.
