The heart of the path is quite easy. There's no need to explain anything at length. Let go of love and hate and let things be. That's all that I do in my own practice.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness. If you let go a lot you will have a lot of happiness. If you let go completely you will be free.

Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher.

Happiness and suffering do not depend on being poor or rich, they depend on having the right or wrong understanding in our mind.

If you want a chicken to be a duck, and a duck to be a chicken, you will suffer.

All religions are like different cars all moving in the same direction. People who don't see it have no light in their hearts.

There are people who are born and die and never once are aware of their breath going in and out of their body. That's how far away they live from themselves

There are two kinds of suffering. There is the suffering you run away from, which follows you everywhere. And there is the suffering you face directly, and so become free.

Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.

Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.

We practice to learn how to let go, not how to increase our holding on to things. Enlightenment appears when you stop wanting anything.

The mature brain is a time capsule. History resides in its structure.

Whatever circumstances may occur, just stay calm and be HAPPY for our rest of life....

To me, thought-controlled computing is as simple and powerful as a paintbrush - one more tool to unlock and enliven the hidden worlds within us.

Familiar life, tending to sordidness, had been succeeded by remote life, generally idealized; historical detail had been brought in to teach readers who were being entertained.

Story is the mother of us all. First we wrap our lives in language and then we act on who we say we are. We proceed from the word into the world and make a world based on our stories.

Every great house is full of haughty servants.

A low budget is uncomfortable.

Never doubt, never look back. That's how I live my life.

Don't go looking in dark places, because dark things live there.

I always wanted everyone to like me. I wanted the city of Pittsburgh to be proud of me. But my first few seasons, I could to count the number of people on my bandwagon on one finger.
