- 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.
