Faith is what is left after all your beliefs have been blown to hell.

If I'm going to die, the best way to prepare is to quiet my mind and open my heart. If I'm going to live, the best way to prepare for it is to quiet my mind and open my heart.

The suffering is in the mind. The mind. In the mind. Witness it. From your spiritual heart.

Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering. But there may come a time - just as there does in the development of any skill - when there will be a plateau. You may be bored, discouraged, or even negative and cynical. This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.

When someone we love dies, we get so busy mourning what died that we ignore what didn't.

Let the natural flow of the universe, course through your being, and harmonize your soul.

Give it all up and you can have it all.
