| Quote of the moment |
| I am always quite cheerful! It is, I think, the result of my own practice and training. In my lifetime, I have lost my country and have been reduced to being totally dependent on the goodwill of others. I have also lost my mother, and most of my tutors and gurus have passed away, although I now have a few new gurus. Of course these are tragic incidents, and I feel sad when I think about them. However, I don't feel overwhelmed by sadness. Old, familiar faces disappear, and new faces appear, but I still maintain my happiness and peace of mind. |

| Quote of the moment |
| In the case of a small child, the child has to grow up into a well-built young man, but the growth takes place with the passage of time. It cannot happen overnight. Likewise the transformation of mind will also take time. Nowadays in many places, by using certain injections, pigs, cows, and birds suddenly grow. Then they are killed and consumed. This negative practice also has an effect on human beings. So, when we talk of spiritual practice, we cannot inject certain qualities and suddenly transform the mind. |
