Eventually you're supposed to get so confounded by this whole thing that you just give up completely, and that's when it starts to work. Not give up the practice, but give up trying to figure it out.

You don't need to be recluse and stay away from people. But you have to set aside a lot of time for stillness. That is the only place there is real fulfillment. You need to slow it down.

My seminars are for you. They are moments, hours and evenings outside of time. A chance, in a highly charged environment, to meditate, find stillness, and remember who you are. A place, with others of like mind, to find and lose yourself in the transcendental light.

In meditation, we are going back into the light. All our pain will be taken away, our frustration.

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

The vast majority of the students I have taught have become self-sufficient and confident individuals who enjoy their lives.

I think one can advance faster outside a monastery if you use the experiences of daily life to advance yourself.
