Dalai Lama XIV
“We create most of our suffering, so it should be logical that we also have the ability to create more joy. It simply depends on the attitudes, the perspectives, and the reactions we bring to situations and to our relationships with other people. When it comes to personal happiness there is a lot that we as individuals can do.” •”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

“Perhaps science could even discover things about enlightenment that would make enlightenment attainable by large masses of human beings. Perhaps science could democratize enlightenment as it had democratized other aspects of power, comfort, and convenience. This concept utterly changed my world. What had initially brought me to Japan was a fascination with the cultures of the East. In learning how to meditate, I felt I had discovered the pinnacle, the highest thing that Asia could give me. Having directly experienced Asia’s unique offering to the world, I asked myself, “What next?”
Shinzen Young, The Science of Enlightenment: How Meditation Works

Elaine Scarry
“Physical pain always mimes death and the infliction of physical pain is always a mock execution.”
Elaine Scarry, The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World

Dōgen
“Before one studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters; after a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains and waters are no longer waters; after enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains and waters once again waters.”
Dōgen

António Damásio
“The self is a repeatedly reconstructed biological state.”
Antonio R. Damasio, Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason and the Human Brain
