I think the most miraculous thing is learning. I get out of the way and let the students learn. Then you get to watch this amazing thing happen.

Buddhism is the study of changing who we are, modifying or perhaps totally restructuring ourselves as perceivers.

Right and wrong are concepts that only have meaning in this world, so by sorting existence on those characteristics, we are defining ourselves to exist only in this world.

If you are truly wise, then you reflect the universe and you are relational in your approach to things. You are a mirror of infinity. That is wisdom.

Self-honesty is not putting yourself down or feeling sorry for yourself. Self-honesty is looking at things as they are and then being compelled to make changes.

You're looking for purity, something that just isn't all garbled, someplace where you can feel the earth again, where you can feel what the wind feels like, where you can see the stars at night, and actually, not just look at little dots in the sky, but feel an energy from them.

The universe is perfection. But there are different views that universe provides for itself to view itself. Beyond all views there is nirvana.
