Can you use the rational mind to transcend itself?

Suffering lets us see where are attachments are - and that helps us get free.

Now is now. Are you going to be here or not?

Birth, death, and suffering all bring us to the very edge of what our minds can understand.

By going into third world countries and serving, by actually feeding and helping people, I've been led to focus a little more on how people here try to be happy by ignoring other people who are unhappy.

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

Our plans never turn out as tasty as reality.
