If you're studying Buddhism you never really have enough time because you're going to die.

Buddhism is the study of power initially. It takes a certain amount of power to even know your potential - to have the sense that you can change the way you perceive.

It is as important to monitor your mind constantly as it is to sit down and practice meditation.

The universe is complicated and we're not going to get it all in one night or one incarnation or one infinity.

We applaud the people who are film stars, who get elected to an office, who are very athletic, the small group who play with power in a very limited way. But we're completely oblivious to what can be done to the infinite realities that exist in front of us. We deny them.

You're looking for purity, something that just isn't all garbled, someplace where you can feel the earth again, where you can feel what the wind feels like, where you can see the stars at night, and actually, not just look at little dots in the sky, but feel an energy from them.

It's not logical, self-realization. If it was, everybody would be self-realized because everybody is logical.
