As Long As The Mind Clings To

We Should Awaken Feelings Of Respect For Each Other. In Other Words, Awaken The Desire To Kill Selfishness.

We Want To Be Famous As A Writer, As A Poet, As A Painter, As A Politician, As A Singer, Or What You Will. Why? Because We Really Don't Love What We Are Doing. If You Loved To Sing, Or To Paint, Or To Write Poems, If You Really Loved It You Would Not Be Concerned With Whether You Are Famous Or Not.

Can The Mind Become Completely Still Without Coercion, Without Compulsion, Without Discipline?

When Your Child Is Very Young, You Must Protect Him From Doing Harm To Himself And Others, Then Later By Precept, Explaining To Him What Is Going To Be For His Eventual Happiness.

Living Is Not This Tawdry, Mediocre, Disciplined Thing Which We Call Our Existence. Living Is Something Entirely Different; It Is Abundantly Rich, Timelessly Changing, And As Long As We Don't Understand That Eternal Movement, Our Lives Are Bound To Have Very Little Meaning.
