To see nothing is to perceive the Way, and to understand nothing is to know the Dharma, because seeing is neither seeing nor not seeing and because understanding is neither understanding nor not understanding.

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

All phenomena are empty.

A Buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.

Nothing makes you feel better than when you get into a hotel bed, and the sheets feel so good. Why shouldn't you wake up like that every day? Spend money on your mattress and bedding because these things make a difference on your sleep and, ultimately, your happiness.

Some of the happiest people I know have none of the things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy.

I equate physical activity with happiness not just from the perspective of producing endorphins but also from the perspective of really moving through emotions and getting stagnant energy to move through our body.

A great merchant delivers both joy and profit. Then profit gets reinvested in more joy.
