There are certain people who people think are enlightened. The problem with the word enlightenment is what you mean by it.

Since I was a small child, I'd believed we were inherently perfect, and that we had to keep coming back again and again until we recognized our innate perfection.

I've often said that the seventh paramita should be a sense of humor, so we don't take ourselves too seriously.

We shouldn't be too naïve, or taken in by charisma.

We should develop a deep appreciation for all the we have, and not waste it, otherwise we'll die with deep regrets.

Women are fully capable of doing everything.

When I look back I feel very grateful.
