{{quote item
|text=There are Five Axioms (or Five Basic Assumption) that underlie mindfulness as I would teach it, that – when implemented – lead to not logical conclusions but to experiential developments within a person:
# Concentration: it is better to have the ability to focus on what one deems relevant and whenever one wants than to lack that ability.
# Sensory clarity: it is better to be sensorially clear about what's going on than to be sensorially muddled.
# Equanimity: it is good to be able to not fight with yourself.
# Recycle the reaction: if, as the result of applying the first three axioms, one experiences heavenly, hellish, or bizarre phenomena, then simply reapply to these reactions the first three axioms.
# If you forget the first four axioms, have contact information of a competent guide, call them, and they will remind you of the first four axioms.

|text=Thought is definitely not the enemy. Your enemy is the lack of moment-to-moment clarity about rising and passing of thought. Thought is every bit as much part of the flow of nature as body sensations are. Indeed, your entire being is part of nature!

{{quote item
|text=There are two sides to the path, and it's paradoxical: there's a place for bearing down, there's a place for easing up; there's a place for doing something, and there's a place for not doing anything at all. So there is a kind of dialectic. Even the Buddha talked about that ''a lot'', about tightening the strings of a lute – you don’t make it too tight, you don’t make it too loose. A teacher can help you with that dialectic.

{{quote item
|text=The thinking process is driven by subliminal feelings, subtle pleasures and pains that we are not ordinarily aware of. When we clear away the ignorance surrounding the thinking process, we are able to detect the subtle "flavors" of pleasure that seduce us into thinking, as well as the subtle flavors of discomfort that goad us into thinking. The unconsciousness and grasping around these feelings turn the feelings into "driver sensations" which mercilessly agitate the mind. When these sensations can be detected and experienced with equanimity, the addiction to the thinking process comes to an end. The mind still thinks, but not in a driven way. It begins to function in a spiritually intuitive mode. In other words, it dines on reality as opposed to trying to gobble it up.

|text=You have the best shot at it if you establish what I call the four pillars of practice. What that means is you do some day-to-day practice, every once in a while you do retreat practice, and you get support and give support.

However you want to do it, just do it, but understand that in doing that, you are actually doing a kind of mindfulness practice.

|text=There is the no-self experience that comes through just purely disentangling; then there's the no-self experience that comes through decoagulating the elements that you've disentangled; then there's the no-self experience that comes about when those flows stop and there is Zero – that's a kind of absolute no-self experience. And then, I would say that the highest freedom comes about when you can experience from that Zero the Feel, Image, Talk rearising, and you totally allow it to rearise as an unblocked activity of personality.

|text=The more you bring equanimity to a pleasant experience, the more that experience produces a quality called fulfillment, which is not the same as mere pleasure – fulfillment is what we really want, pleasure is what we think we want.

{{quote item
|text=Expansion is the principle of increase; contraction is the principle of decrease. Expansion is the principle of outward movement, outward force; contraction is the principle of inward movement, inward force. So that means that as you're paying attention to sensory experience, if anything increases – that's expansion. So expansion isn't this mysterious thing that someday, if you finally grow up, you'll be able to experience. If you have a pain and it's getting bigger – that's expansion; if you're listening to a sound and it's getting smaller and smaller and smaller as the airplane goes away – that's contraction. Don't tell me you never experienced expansion or contraction. Any increase, any decrease represents these underlying principles.

|text=The increase and decrease in intensities, and the increase and decrease in frequencies, and the inwards and outward pressures in the body, and the scattering and gripping forces in the mind: in the end, all present themselves – if you look carefully – as stretchings and/or squeezings of a spatial volume of sensory experience.
