How can you possibly be happy if you think you're a person? Because we all know, just by definition, that people are definitely not happy because they take everything too seriously. They take themselves seriously.

You must realize you are not the doer, that you are not the action.

Several hours later, I heard my mother calling me to come into the house, and it never occurred to me that this was an experience that other children didn't have on a regular basis.

You are not a body. You are not a mind. You are infinite light, infinite intelligence, the radiance of all beings, the dharmakaya - the endless light of creation.

Eventually light prevails, you just have to be patient. So practice Buddhism, learn to be enlightened, put a smile on your face, go find a great teacher, meditate, and stay funny.

Fear can be used to get into your attention. Any way a person can get you to think of them, allows them to drain you.

It's not going to be easy. It's the earth. What creates power in your life is when you perfect your mind, your career, and your associations with others.
