As long as we remain within the confines of the thinking mind, we can’t experience the state of non-thinking. If we can’t experience non-thinking, we will not understand what our life truly is. Please realize this for yourself! Just sit.

Details are all there are.

Have good trust in yourself, not in the One that you think you should be, but in the One that you are.

I am not devaluing thoughts. Just do not mix up what we think with what actually is.

Practice is this life, and realization is this life, and this life is revealed right here and now.

Just live that life. It doesn't matter whether it is life or hell, life of the hungry ghost, life of the animal, it's okay just live that life, see. And as a matter of fact no other way. Where you stand, where you are, that's what your life is right there, regardless of how painful it is or how enjoyable it is. That's what it is.
