Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life.

Let your heart go out in spontaneous and immeasurable compassion.

The masters say if you create an auspicious condition in your body and your environment then meditation and realization will automatically arise.

The real glory of meditation lies not in any method but in its continual living experience of presence, in its bliss, clarity, peace, and most important of all, complete absence of grasping. The diminishing of grasping in yourself is a sign that you are becoming freer of yourself. And the more you experience this freedom, the clearer the sign that the ego and the hopes and fears that keep it alive are dissolving, and the closer you will come to the infinitely generous "wisdom of egolessness."

Generally we waste our lives, distracted from our true selves, in endless activity. Meditation is the way to bring us back to ourselves, where we can really experience and taste our full being.

Our buddha nature is as good as any buddha’s buddha nature.

Samsara is the mind turned outwardly, lost in its projections. Nirvana is the mind turned inwardly, recognizing its true nature.
