When one has a decisive realization of the inherent nature of the mind, which has no ego, it has no sense of duality between oneself and the cup, and a deep sense of interpenetration of the whole dharma. Then whatever we do is spontaneously perfect Buddha activity. And anybody who is even slightly tuned in will get a very deep experience of that.

Wherever we are and whatever we're doing, we're either conscious, or we're not.

Why are we sitting? Why are we practicing? Why are we doing anything? It's not so I can be happy. It's so I can embody the dharma in order to benefit other beings.

In one way I would like to teach, but I have no qualifications to teach Westerners.

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

In fact there are beautiful people in this world doing incredibly selfless acts over and over and over. Dedicating their lives completely for the welfare and happiness of others.

We only think about the difficult people and the horrible things that happen. That's what gets all the media attention.
