• From one point of view we can say that we have human bodies and are practicing the Buddha's teachings and are thus much better than insects. But we can also say that insects are innocent and free from guile, where as we often lie and misrepresent ourselves in devious ways in order to achieve our ends or better ourselves. From this perspective, we are much worse than insects.

• How innocent were these Trees, that in
  Mist-green May, blown by a prospering breeze,
  Stood garlanded and gay;
  Who now in sundown glow
  Of serious colour clad confront me with their show
  As though resigned and sad,
  Trees, who unwhispering stand umber, bronze, gold;
  Pavilioning the land for one grown tired and old;
  Elm, chestnut, aspen and pine, I am merged in you,
  Who tell once more in tones of time,
  Your foliaged farewell.

• Genocide is like a dessert. It is made of the flesh and bones of woman and children, it is sweetened with the blood of the innocent, and it is baked in the ovens of Auschwitz.

You could not see into the forbidden and avoid damage to your sight.

• Meditation is to attain to a no-mindness, to a state of no-thought. In that opening of no-thought, in that kind of space, suddenly you become pure, innocent, uncorrupted. You have never been like that before nobody has ever been like that before nobody is going to be like that again. Unique. And to know that is to realize one's self. To know that is to know all. If you have not known that, whatsoever else you know is just rubbish, garbage.
