I find that being with other people dissipates my energy.

We live in a society which is heading in one direction, so it's good to have at least a few friends who share the same values and can encourage us and help us to remember that we're not alone or peculiar, but that what we're doing is a very valid way of life. This will encourage us to put the Dharma at the centre of our life and not the periphery, to use our daily life as our Dharma practice.

We're reborn every second, every moment.

The dharma is here. And the dharma is in your heart. Where else would it be?

Just because someone is very charismatic, it doesn't mean that they're genuinely qualified.

Many people are benefiting beings, but from a dharma point of view, if you are a dharma practitioner, then the first priority is to get yourself together.

We have produced many of our problems through our confused mental states.
