In the Buddhist approach, life and death are seen as one whole, where death is the beginning of another chapter of life. Death is the mirror in which the entire meaning of life is reflected.

Let your heart go out in spontaneous and immeasurable compassion.

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

There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the omniscience of enlightenment: following an authentic spiritual master.

More important than finding the teacher is finding and following the truth of the teaching.

Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth

The point is not how long you meditate; the point is whether the practice actually brings you to a certain state of mindfulness and presence, where you are a little open and able to connect with your heart essence. And five minutes of wakeful sitting practice is of far greater value than twenty minutes of dozing!
