Meditation is a way to take us to a deeper level of awareness.

We've been human countless times and done everything you can imagine. So we've been planting all these negative seeds, and they're going to come up.

The power of thought is extremely powerful.

Why are we sitting? Why are we practicing? Why are we doing anything? It's not so I can be happy. It's so I can embody the dharma in order to benefit other beings.

We do have the precious opportunity of this human life.

There is an enormous joy and satisfaction in doing what you really want to do and are best fitted to do. When it all comes together like that, it gives you a wonderful sense of well-being and satisfaction knowing that you have been doing what you were intended to do for this lifetime.

Our relative being is what rules our relative world.
