Granted you want to go beyond ideas and beyond thought, but that takes years of practice. If you must think, think good thoughts, happy thoughts, and constructive thoughts.

Just see beauty as you walk around through your day. Feel things. Unhook from your thoughts and all the busy things you are doing. Start to look at life. This is mindfulness.

You are moving in and out of different advanced states of mind through your practice of meditation and mindfulness. It's that level of excellence that gives you joy in life, not the fact that you won or lost.

If we immerse ourselves in the ultimate good, we will have this silly smile on our face or perhaps just inside our hearts. That is what illumination is.

Through the experience of memory, you recall what you have done, and you therefore attach yourself to it and perceive yourself through prior experience.

Overcoming fear is a critical factor for anyone who wishes to be really happy, or anyone who wishes to become enlightened

I've never met anyone who's serious about enlightenment.
