Life is an endless matrix of existence. And as you experience it in that pure form, that's what we call enlightenment.

In both Surfing the Himalayas and Snowboarding to Nirvana, I have tried to transmit as best I could the spirit of humor, and the sense of humor of the monks I have encountered.

The world won't necessarily change but your understanding of it will, and therefore the world will change. Your attention will no longer be confined to the physical body and the physical world.

You're in a world of diversity. You see things through a glass darkly. There is a separation everywhere.

Anything that you might want to be is around somewhere. You can become it. You just have to get into the state of mind that allows that to occur.

You can hit a home run. If you are honest, you'll know when it's perfect because at that critical moment of connection, there was no sense of being there. That is perfect play. There is no self involved.

Start to give more thought to the world around you. Stop exposing yourself to situations that drain your energy. You will discover through a trial and error process that you will have more energy.
