The world other than as advertised can be an amazing place.
From John Burdett
To a Buddhist, contradictions only exist in a mind that has been forced to cultivate them.
In the West, we've lost our intuitive understanding of how poverty shapes thinking.
I'm fascinated by Buddhism. I adore Buddhism, and I read about it all the time, but I haven't formally become a Buddhist, although I don't really know why I haven't. I guess I feel I don't need to.
Just studying Buddhism, then meditating and going to Buddhist monasteries, talking to Buddhist monks, combined with the Thai people themselves, changed the way I look at the world.
