The Dharma is a very, very special and precious thing. The more you practice it, the more you will realize this.

I think if you really start practicing, the energy comes. I was always very happy and grateful for the opportunity to have the time, solitude and good health to be able to do it.

In Dharma practice, the most important thing is to be very sincere.

When we read history we find that in all ages people have thought, this is the dark age.

This is a time that calls for extreme restraint. In a world of outright aggression and violence there can be no winners. To respond to violence with counter-violence only throws oil on the fire.

My body is not good for prostrations.

We're not lowly sinners, we're not worthless beings. We are something jewel-like and beautiful.
