Short quotes

"Silence your own emotions, and those of others sound far clearer. When you learn to focus on your clear light mind and cease to become obsessed with your own emotions, you become free to empathize with other sentient beings. You will then find yourself picking up their emotions. This can be an extremely confusing stage if you do not know that you are taking a step closer to becoming a Buddha." ~ a friend of mine

"How 'whizzzzzzz' and 'zzzzz' are rectified in meditation needs to be applied to the whole of one's life - especially when life is spent mostly in meditation!" ~ me
