Meditation is a bright, hopeful practice in which we learn to make our mind quiet so that the infinite, perfect light of enlightenment can flow through us.

I can assure you that next to my bed, there is always a copy of the Dharmapada which I read from every night.

In America people have this funny idea about enlightenment and money. Money expresses a level of commitment. Studying enlightenment is like going to a university.

The very advanced practitioners of martial arts never had to raise a hand. They could knock an opponent down without physically touching them, just with chi, pure power. We don't see too many of them anymore.

They too wonder about the nature of existence, where they've come from and where they're going to and how much time they have.

If you seek enlightenment, then career is a very important idea on your agenda. Approach your career from this standpoint and you will have a very different career. You will be successful.

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