Total relaxation is the secret to enjoying sitting meditation. I sit with my spine upright, but not rigid; and I relax all the muscles in my body.

Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.

Understanding and Love are not two separate things, but just one. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you cannot help but love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people.

You can use your life in a very useful and intelligent way. You can very well transform that negative energy into a positive energy that empowers you and makes life meaningful.

Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.

Happiness is not an individual matter.

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.
