Cory Muscara, a former monk, meditated 15 hours a day for 6 months straight with one of the toughest Buddhist monks on the planet and shared what he learned.

The ones that hit me hardest:

3. Who you are is not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

16. Sometimes we need to get out of alignment with the rest of the world to get back into alignment with ourselves.

20. To feel more joy, open to your pain.

29. Your mind doesn’t wander. It moves toward what it finds most interesting. If you want to focus better, become more curious about what's in front of you.

31. You cannot practice non-attachment. You can only show your mind the suffering that attachment creates. When it sees this clearly, it will let go.
