In meditation all the fake dull thoughts that you think, all the ridiculous philosophies, the necessities, all the things that won't matter a bit when you are dead - fade away.

When you think an angry thought about someone, it's like hitting them.

Stopping thought also involves shifting your values. Thought is stimulated by ideas that we have about life and the world.

The purpose of life is happiness. What else could it possibly be?

Don't listen to voices. If you hear voices talking to you, forget it. Disregard the information, even if it is right occasionally. You are dealing with non-physical forces that are trying to influence you.

The Tibetan Buddhist realization is that mind does not have any particular qualities or attributes of its own. It's clear - clear light.

Balance is the ability to be happy in the midst of the most chaotic or even boring or transient circumstance.
