meditation

Reality is non-directional, layered, and potential- all things at once and non-real in the sense that real is an unknown, so "real" is undefined and can not be experienced. Only your experience can be experienced, and that does not encompass everything or anything.

A spiritual man is happy with the whole existence. He says "yes" to the whole existence.

Love does not expect anything in return

When we touch the center of sorrow, when we sit with discomfort without trying to fix it, when we stay present to the pain of disapproval or betrayal and let it soften us, these are times that we connect with bohdichitta.

A peaceful mind appreciates the present moment as the living embodiment of naked perfection, rather than a means to future attainment.

Save now, so you are not dependent on your children when you are old

Cut the cords of attachment. Expand the circle of love.

We are animals descended from five billion years of wanting, striving, and seeking. And life just doesn__ cooperate. So we suffer. And so the solution to that problem is to upgrade our minds, in a distinctly __nnatural_ way, so that the mind clings less and lets go more.

Do not expect too much from the world. We are here to give not to take.

Do not bank on mere mortals. Trust the One who will never fail you

The awareness that seeks to know is the very object of its own seeking.

It is possible to refine awareness itself so much that the emptiness of things, and the role mental construction plays, becomes a directly apprehended reality.

Most of our healing occurs during quiet moments of rest when we are in contact with unconscious feelings and experiences. I can't imagine life without the peaceful, insightful moments I have during meditation.

Give and take is business not bhakti

Since the early 1920s a unique spiritual path has existed in Japan. This distinctly Japanese version of yoga is called Shin-shin-toitsu-do, and it combines seated meditation, moving meditation, breathing exercises, and other disciplines to help practitioners realize unification of mind and body. Besides yoga, it is a synthesis of methods, influenced by Japanese meditation, healing arts, and martial arts; along with Western psychology, medicine, and science. Shin-shin-toitsu-do is widely practiced throughout Japan, although it is almost unknown in other countries. Through its principles of mind and body coordination people have an opportunity to realize their full potential in everyday life.A remarkable man created this path, and he led an equally remarkable life. He was known in Japan as Nakamura Tempu Sensei, and this is his story.

The least among the sadhus, saints and monks and other people of God is worthier than you. Never speak ill of them

Know the one who wants nothing to be the wealthiest.

To live without an aim is to wander in a wilderness.
