“I should be grateful. I have a good enough life here. It’s crazy to long for what doesn’t even exist.”
“Some of them taught that all worldly things are unreal, because [they are] a result of the perverted views. Only that which transcends worldly things and can be called “emptiness,” being the absence of them all, is real. Others said that everything, both worldly and supramundane, both absolute and relative, both Samsara and Nirvana, is fictitious and unreal and that all we have got is a number of verbal expressions to which nothing real corresponds.”

“Para ejercer el deseo con voluntad debes aprender dos cosas: ● A leer los efectos del deseo en tu día a día. ● A darle vida al deseo. Si aprendes a leer los efectos de tu deseo, aprenderás a reconocer lo que sí y lo que no deseas y por ende aprenderás a desear mejor.”

“For the practitioner, the understanding of wisdom and compassion—and the inherent tension between the two—is not to be resolved on a theoretical level, but to be experienced in one’s own mind and body. In this way one finds emptiness and compassion to be mutually supportive rather than mutually contradictory.”
