I think, for East and West, the first thing we need is a good grounding in basic Buddhadharma.

To be completely enlightened means that you're a Buddha.I don't speak of enlightenment.

My body is not good for prostrations.

If you lose interest in the dharma, then you might be reborn in a place where you are unlikely to meet with the dharma. And then you're completely off the path.

If you take the time to study how to be a doctor and how to use your scalpel and your medicine, then there are endless beings out there to help.

The future of Dharma is in women's hands now because they have this energy which was never really tapped.

We have produced many of our problems through our confused mental states.
