A monk can be very gentle, very peaceful, while there are no hard words to assail him. But when hard words are directed at him, it is then that he must be really gentle and peaceful.
-Majjhima Nikaya
Contrary to what some people might believe, there is nothing wrong with having pleasures and enjoyments. What is wrong is the confused way we grasp onto these pleasures, turning them from a source of happiness into a source of pain and dissatisfaction.
-Lama Thubten Yeshe
What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
-Werner Heisenberg
