Chapter 18
"Think about good deeds in the past, then be pleased; think of them more often, the pleasant feeling will nourish your mind. Starting from the point that you feel comfortable, expand the stillness feeling continuously and it will make you relaxed, content and you will naturally feel you are one with the center."

Chapter 22
"'Whatever appears to you, whatever you see, just keep looking continuously': as if you are driving to Chiang Mai; you see views on both sides of the street and feel just the side view until you reach destiny; naturally you will know your mind, pure, then you know it is pure; impure, then you know it is impure; persistent then you know
it is persistent; still and gentle, then you know it is still and gentle."

Chapter 3
The still mind will not attach to anything; only Dhamma spheres, Buddha Images within. Your mind will be at the center of the body at all times and will become one. The mind will be immersed in the happiness within.
