I've shared meditation with a lot of hip-hop artists, inmates, and returning war veterans with PTSD, as well. I feel like this dharma, this service is part of my job.

Every day set the simple goal of trying to be more awake and less distracted.

Give what you want to receive. If you want happiness, make others happy.

There is no happiness until the mind is still. The cause of all sickness and sadness is the fluctuation of the mind.

If you want to say something profound, writing from your heartbeat is different than writing from the loud voices you get from music. If they're rapping from noise, it's about robbing people. It's that simple.

You can't jump to vegan if you're not. Some people are absolute. Some people are able to be gradual.

Music is the noise that surrounds the stillness of the art form.
