The key to finding a happy balance in modern lives is simplicity.

Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected.

If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear.

What is born will die, What has been gathered will be dispersed, What has been accumulated will be exhausted, What has been built up will collapse, And what has been high will be brought low.

This dying forces you to look into yourself. And in this, compassion is the only way. Love is the only way.

The gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift you can give yourself in this lifetime.

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