And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.

Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive - that you can touch the miracle of being alive - then that is a kind of enlightenment.

Enlightenment is not something you achieve. It is the absence of something. All your life you have been going forward after something, pursuing some goal. Enlightenment is dropping all that.

I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.

Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.

The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.

I've got to start using my brain more - I've got to be more ethereal and more enlightened.

I'm an incredibly intelligent, insightful human being.

I'm a Buddhist.

I don't believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.
