• If you see the intersection of time and space, you experience complete freedom of being. This state of existence is completely beyond any idea of time, space, or being. In that liberated state you can see fundamental truth and the phenomenal world simultaneously. That is called Buddha's world. That is the place where all sentient beings exist, so you can stand up there and see all beings, myriad beings. Then you know very clearly, through your own emotional and intellectual understanding, how all beings exist.

I got it in ninth grade and I think I've listened to it every month since then.

• People forget that art is not just a piece of entertainment. It is the place where we collectively declare our values and then act on them.
