This precious life is our opportunity. We are not the millions and millions of other things that are not human.

Basically, I feel to spend the rest of my life doing retreat.

I've always loved the Sangha. I have the deepest, deepest respect for them. I'm very sorry that in the West people don't appreciate what the monastic order is about.

We do have the precious opportunity of this human life.

We have to cultivate contentment with what we have. We really don't need much. When you know this, the mind settles down. Cultivate generosity. Delight in giving. Learn to live lightly. In this way, we can begin to transform what is negative into what is positive. This is how we start to grow up.

My body is not good for prostrations.

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