I hope you will attain enlightenment. I am here to tell you that you already have! But you don't know... The difference between the Buddha and us is the confidence in knowing that he was enlightened.

Many of us are slaves to our minds. Our own mind is our worst enemy. We try to focus, and our mind wanders off. We try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night. We try to be good to the people we love, but then we forget them and put ourselves first.

We humans have come to a crossroads in our history: we can either destroy the world or create a good future.

A book very much is the center of the road, so people always can refer back to it.

What is really happening in meditation is that we are developing the ability to think when we want to, and to not think when we don’t want to.

True happiness is always available to us, but first we have to create the environment for it to flourish.

We live in a culture where information is becoming easier to access. Certain special practices have been kept very quiet and secret, and those traditions need to be respected. But there are a lot of teachings people can access that would benefit them greatly.
