- Choose one meditation practice and stick with it. If you want to progress in meditation stay with one technique.
- Meditate every day. Practice now. Don't think you will do more later.
- Any situation is workable. Each of us has enormous power. It can be used to help ourselves and help others.
- Practice patience. Patience is one of the most important virtues for developing mindfulness and concentration.
- Free your mind. Your mind is all stories.
- Cool the fire of emotions. Anger is a fire.
- Have fun along the way. I am quite happy. If you come to meditate you will also be happy.
- Simplify. Live simply. A very simple life is good for every thing. Too much luxury is a hindrance to practice.
- Cultivate the spirit of blessing. If you bless those around you this will inspire you to be attentive in every moment.
