• People are afraid that if they let go of their anger and righteousness and wrath, and look at their own feelings-and even see the good in a bad person-they're going to lose the energy they need to do something about the problem. But actually you get more strength and energy by operating from a place of love and concern. You can be just as tough, but more effectively tough.

• Imagina una cultura en la que todo esté orientado a ayudar a todos los individuos a convertirse en los mejores seres humanos que puedan ser; en la que los individuos se vean impulsados a dedicar su vida a iluminarse por el torrente natural de compasión hacia los demás que surge de su sabiduría.

• Para terminar de construir la sociedad libre soñada por Washington, Franklin y Jefferson, debemos recurrir a los recursos de la imaginación ilustrada, que las ciencias espirituales de la India y el Tíbet pueden desarrollar sistemáticamente. Aún no hemos domado nuestros propios demonios de racismo, nacionalismo, sexismo y materialismo. Aún no hemos hecho las paces con una tierra que tomamos por la fuerza y que sólo hemos pagado en parte. Somos un conglomerado de personas de diferentes tribus que aún no han abrazado plenamente la humanidad de los demás. Y ninguno de nosotros podrá ser realmente libre hasta que todos lo seamos.

• Practica regalando cosas, no sólo las que no te importan, sino las que te gustan. Recuerda que lo que cuenta no es el tamaño del regalo, sino su calidad y la cantidad de apego mental que superas. Así que no te arruines por un impulso positivo momentáneo para luego arrepentirte. Piensa bien lo que regalas. Regala cosas pequeñas, con cuidado, y observa los procesos mentales que acompañan al acto de soltar la cosita que te ha gustado.

• To become enlightened is not just to slip into some disconnected euphoria, an oceanic feeling of mystic oneness apart from ordinary reality. It is not even to come up with a solution, a sort of formula to control reality. Rather, it is an experience of release from all compulsions and sufferings, combined with a precise awareness of any relevent subject of knowledge. Having attained enlightenment one knows everything that matters, and the precise nature of all that is.

• People in Tibet have an expression. When you reach a certain degree of venerableness and age, and people ask, "How are you?," there is an expression that people use that means, "Just barely not dead." Some people might be frightened by it but I think it's quite funny.

• The most important enemy for everyone is their own illusion that makes them unrealistic or exaggerates their sense of self-importance in the world. Ironically, you're the super secret enemy. Whether lay or householder, everyone has that internal enemy.

• The saying "no self, no problem" probably comes from Zen. In their cultures, where Buddhism is kind of taken for granted, as well as karma, causality, former and future life, and the possibility for becoming enlightened, then it's safe to skirt the danger of nihilism, which would be, I don't exist because Buddha said I have no self, and therefore I have no problem because I don't exist. That would be a bad misunderstanding. But in those cultures, it would not be as easy to have that understanding as it would be here in the west, where we really are nihilistic.

• Every time you have a big blast-out experience you think that's the ultimate-everything, and of course it isn't, although you can get hints. The key however, is not to take those hint experiences to be the ultimate experience. There always needs to be a balance. For example, when you find something, by having some experience, you always want to keep looking because there could be more to it.

• The Buddhists think that, because we've all had infinite previous lives, we've all been each other's relatives. Therefore all of you, in the Buddhist view, in some previous life ... have been my mother - for which I do apologize for the trouble I caused you.

• I'd like to say is that we shouldn't have an idea that the goal of spiritual practice is to annihilate ones ego, that would be a mistake. In the early years of enlightenment, psychologists were afraid of Hindus and Buddhists meditating because they thought they were going to shatter their egos and then they'd have to wear diapers or something, like they'd lose their toilet training or what have you. They were really afraid of it.
