Secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome states, I entered and dwelt in the ifrst jhana, which accompanied by initial and sustained application born of seclusion.
-Bhikkhu Sariptta
The feelings of pleasure associated with jhana are deeply healing and positive, and they can be developed systemati
cally. This energized happiness, called " a joy born of seclusion," floods the experience of the first jhana and highlights the profound relief known when the mind is separated from hindrances.
Illustrating the first jhana:
And with this delight and joy born of detachment, he so suffuses, drenches, fills, and irradiates his body that there is no spot in his entire body that is untouched by this delight and joy born of detachment.

At the age of 97 years and 4 months, Shigeaki Hinohara is one of the world's longest-serving physicians and educators. Hinohara's magic touch is legendary: Since 1941 he has been healing patients at St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo and teaching at St. Luke's College of Nursing.

Energy comes from feeling good, not from eating well or sleeping a lot. We all remember how as children, when
we were having fun, we often forgot to eat or sleep. I believe that we can keep that attitude as adults, too. It's best not to tire the body with too many rules such as lunchtime and bedtime.
When a doctor recommends you take a test or have some surgery, ask whether the doctor would suggest that his or her spouse or children go through such a procedure. Contrary to popular belief, doctors cannot cure everyone. So why cause unnecessary pain with surgery. I think music and animal therapy can help more than most doctors imagine.
To stay healthy, always take the stairs and carry your own stuff. I take two stairs at a time, to get my muscles moving.
Do not be crazy about amassing material things. Remember: You do not know when your number is up, and you can't take it with you to the next place.
Science alone can't cure or help people. Science lumps us all together, but illness is individual. Each person is unique, and diseases are connected to their hearts. To know the illness and help people, we need liberal and visual arts, not just medical ones.
It's wonderful to live long. Until one is 60 years old, it is easy to work for one's family and to achieve one's goals. But in our later years, we should strive to contribute to society. Since the age of 65, I have worked as a volunteer. I still put in 18 hours seven days a week and love every minute of it.

I always tell my students that they don't need to have too many friends. The real friend, also a teacher is inside of you. That is more than enough. Why bother to know what other people think of you. Then you will find that you are not alone.
Just now, I told my student how to keep or train the mind to be peaceful. She always finds it difficult to get a peaceful mind. I told her to take a big bow

l and fill it with water. Rock the bowl of water gently and leave it on the table. Next watch the water and you find that the water is moving to and fro. After a short while the water comes to a stay still. By then, your mind which has been following the moving of the water also comes to a stand still. Immediately you see the peace in you. Like to try that?
