Focusing on an enlightened teacher is a doorway. It is not a person. We are focusing on the light that passes through them. We are moving through them into the planes of light and eventually to nirvana.

We live in a world where money is necessary. You can't just go out and roam the forest and the cities, at least in America.

The key to all enlightenment is to have personal experiences in the world of light. All you need to do that is to meditate.

The reason you see yourself as a creep is because you have an appreciation of what perfection is, whereas no one else conceives of themselves in that way, since they don't even strive.

If the Zen master sees that it will cause a person to progress, he will ask that person to do a task. The task is charged with power if it's performed properly. It's a koan between yourself and the Zen Master.

There is enough room in eternity for everyone to be enlightened. We gain or lose nothing by the success of others.

If you are happier than you have ever been, then your power is increasing. But is it a fast a rate of climb as you would like?
