“”Buddhism is not just about one or two small things, it is not some tiny philosophy.  Lord Buddha explained the nature of every single phenomenon in the universe”
“At certain times, a silent mind is very important, but ‘silent’ does not mean closed.  The silent mind is an alert, awakened mind; a mind seeking the nature of reality.”
“Meditation is the right medicine for the uncontrolled, undisciplined mind.  Mediation is the way to perfect satisfaction.  The uncontrolled mind is by nature sick; dissatisfaction is a form of mental illness.  What’s the right antidote to that?  It’s knowledge wisdom, understanding the nature or psychological phenomena; knowing how the internal world functions.”
