Life is not dependent upon our classifications and our categories, our science. But we are. We find it interesting and helpful.

There is nothing wrong with the world of physicality. There is nothing wrong with existence. It's perfect ... but it's terribly transient.

Whenever I work with anyone, it is an opportunity for them to become more professional and do something for someone else.

The state of mind that you are in causes you to act in a certain way. Your actions will bear results. The ultimate result of all karmas and actions is state of mind. You are your state of mind.

The perfect view of existence comes from an unclouded, uncluttered life and mind whereby the radiance of perfect attention of the mind of the universe floods us at every moment. This is Buddhism. This is being on the path.

By disciplining and training the mind to focus on one thing, we gain control of perception; we learn to grab it and put it someplace we want it to be.

We seek absolute neutrality in Buddhism. We don't want to be drawn into anything in particular. We don't want to be pushed away from anything in particular.
