I saw "Forrest Gump" several times. I personally thought it was Tom Hanks' greatest role and I think it was one of the most eloquent love stories of our time.

Zen is not a religion. There is no room for a cult. There is no dependence on a teacher. There is only learning how to use your own mind and making it strong.

There are physical karmas. They are reactions and results from actions. But those are bound to a particular lifetime.

The vast majority of the people who populate our planet live lives of quiet desperation that are all too often quite harsh and painful, lives in which events and circumstances usually don't turn out the way they had hoped or planned.

It is only when you realize that you are mortal and yet immortal simultaneously that you begin to realize that the beautiful incongruities of existence aren't incongruous at all, but rather perfect.

Mindfulness is passive meditation. It is passive because your energy and your attention are divided between your actions and your practice, your meditation.

The way you increase your energy is by letting go, ultimately. There is something inside you that knows what it should do, and you fight it all the time.
