When there's a teacher who embodies presence, then it seems to come for a while through that opening. The teacher is an opening to presence.

The past has no power over the present moment.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.

The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural; for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage; my whole being surges toward the bars.

Don't live in the past, don't ponder about the future, stay at the PRESENT moment NOW...always.

I keep eating for fear I will be hungry.

I love listening to old records to keep nostalgic feeling; it allows me to not lose the love for hip-hop.

With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall.

Metaphor for the night sky: a trillion asterisks and no explanations.

If you're nasty, I won't fight. If you're rough, well that's just you. If you're mean, that's alright too. Whatever you are is all okay. I don't like you anyway.

It's more complicated than that. I know them. They're not evil or cruel. They're not even smart. Hurting them, it's like hurting children.
