We see a lot of people who decide to go out and teach meditation. They become so wrapped up in it that they stop progressing themselves and they really don't have that much more to teach.

Each of your excursions is balanced by the strengthening of the tonal.

The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.

In Zen we have no gurus.

Just as your physical body is composed of tissue, organs, bones, and different parts, so your subtle physical body has many different parts.

While this is good and it stores up knowledge and power, at the same time there's a problem with it because it means that a person becomes more fixed.

Pain and suffering only occur in temporal time. They don't occur in the world of forever. They only occur in limited transient time, which is a state of mind.
