The world other than as advertised can be an amazing place.

I don't want enlightenment, I want him. Sorry Buddha, I loved him more than you.

To a Buddhist, contradictions only exist in a mind that has been forced to cultivate them.

The function of the West is to turn bodies and minds into products. It cannot understand that the rest of the world holds this to be an obscenity, a corruption of our nirvanic nature.

The great weakness of the West is that it has nothing with which to inspire loyalty except wealth. But what is wealth? Another washing machine, a bigger car, a nicer house to live in? Not much to feed the spirit in all that.

Las Vegas is the expression, in glitter and concrete, of Americas brittle and mutating id.

Don't ask me when I first mastered the obvious.
