No matter where you are on your life’s path, either just beginning self-cultivation or practicing for years, as you practice you will become more awake and aware, you further realize you are stepping further into groundlessness and entering into you know not what.

If we remember that ownership exists only by definition, then we can give up possessiveness, defensiveness, and greed.  You don’t even own your own body, ownership would mean total control, you would never age or suffer.  Why not seek the truth that goes beyond the body?

Would you like to liberate yourself from the lower realms of life?  Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for?  Then step away from the shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness.

To make successful progress you must be in harmony with natural laws.  In times of progress and successful development it is necessary to work and make the best use of the times.  These times of increase do not endure; therefore, they must be utilized while they last.

Quote: Make your heart like a lake with a calm, still surface and great depths of kindness.
