The essence of all practice is to be cool. Life is not worth getting excited about because whatever you perceive is an illusion.

What is gone before is gone. All you have now are the results of your actions.

You get to the point where you have to wash the dishes. That's the fun in life. Being behind the scenes and doing things for others; being an instrument of that cause. That is the secret teaching.

You will gain energy by meditating deeply, by speaking the truth, by learning to be still and by avoiding the crowd, most of the time, not all of the time.

Go through every closet in your house in every room.

Personal power, knowledge and fun come from how you approach something, not what you approach.

The world is futile when viewed through the persona of the body. The body is not simply the physical body but it's the body of knowledge of this world.
