In one way I would like to teach, but I have no qualifications to teach Westerners.
We have produced many of our problems through our confused mental states.
The nature of the mind is completely incredible.
We don't want to go to heaven. We want to be reborn so that we can keep going and realize the dharma so we can benefit other beings, endlessly. It's a very different thing.
If you're meeting with the dharma, you have probably been a human being before.
The answer lies within ourselves. If we can't find peace and happiness there, it's not going to come from the outside.
