I no longer teach meditation, only software design.

The person who gives selflessly in this lifetime immediately goes into a better state of mind. That is instant karma.

You see, I'm a believer in the rhapsodic. I like things that are happy. For no particular reason, I just like them. Most people don't seem to be like that in this particular place, in this world. You can tell by what they focus on. Read a newspaper, watch a TV show, go to a movie, look at a life.

There is mental conditioning in your mind put in there during this life by your parents, teachers, the society. You've been told what is and what is not, what is right and what is wrong. This has to be pushed aside.

In Zen we have no gurus.

Love the fading flowers as much as you love the undifferentiated which lasts forever.

To be afraid of our next life because we don't feel we've done a good job with this life is not wise. It creates unhappiness now.
