Nice, Buddhism, Giving

Don't judge your meditations. Don't rate them. The physical mind cannot tell how well you did. As long as you are sitting there trying, something will happen.

Buddhism, Long, Judging

The force that drives the green fuse, as Dylan Thomas said, cannot be understood. So self-discovery is to accept your daily meditation, to observe yourself meditating and not be concerned with the results.

Buddhism, Ideas, Meditation

There are many ways to meditate. When you meditate, you are learning how to feel again.

Buddhism, Meditation, Way

Art, Lying, Buddhism

If you can bring earnestness to your meditation, you will find that happiness is something that will run through your life constantly.

Running, Buddhism, Meditation

There's no risk in doing a lousy meditation or not meditating at all. There's no risk in being convenient and comfortable. There's a lot of risk in the world of enlightenment.

Buddhism, Meditation, Risk

Try to read books about meditation, but not so many different viewpoints that they get confusing. There is no best way. It's just what works for you at the time.

Book, Buddhism, Meditation

Running, Buddhism, Views

Buddhism, People, Meditation

When you meditate, you focus to clear the mind and to bring the willpower together. But then, toward the end of the session let go, just become eternity.

Letting Go, Buddhism, Meditation

Real winning and losing all takes place at the meditation table. This is where the battles are. Winning is stopping thought. Losing is sitting there and being subjected to all kinds of ridiculous thoughts

Real, Buddhism, Winning

We know we should be completely humble. We should stop thinking that we're very marvelous because we're not. We are interesting at best because we are a part of life.

Humble, Thinking, Interesting

Life And Death, Taoism, Substance

We should not weep or cry or be upset when we see the generations pass, because all are forms of the infinite creation. They are not real, they are not eternal.

Real, Upset, Taoism

Just as when water is frozen in to a form as ice and then melts - so at the time of death, there is no death. The spirit simply changes form.

Ice, Water, Taoism
