• Cuando plantas lechuga, si no crece bien, no culpas a la lechuga. Hay que buscar las razones por las que no crece bien. Puede que necesite fertilizante, más agua o menos sol. Nunca culpas a la lechuga. Sin embargo, si tenemos problemas con nuestros amigos o familiares, culpamos a la otra persona. Pero si sabemos cuidarlos, crecerán bien, como la lechuga. Culpar no tiene ningún efecto positivo, como tampoco lo tiene intentar persuadir utilizando la razón y los argumentos. Esa es mi experiencia. Ni culpar, ni razonar, ni argumentar, sólo comprender.

• 

  La gente suele considerar un milagro caminar sobre el agua o en el aire. Pero yo creo que el verdadero milagro no es caminar sobre el agua o en el aire, sino caminar sobre la tierra. Todos los días participamos en un milagro que ni siquiera reconocemos: un cielo azul, nubes blancas, hojas verdes, los ojos negros y curiosos de un niño... nuestros propios ojos. Todo es un milagro.

• Celibacy is one of the most unnatural things. It has destroyed so many human beings - millions - Catholic monks, Hindu monks, Buddhist monks, Jaina monks, nuns. For centuries they have been teaching celibacy; and the most amazing thing is, even in the twentieth century, not a single medical expert, physiologist, has stood up and said that celibacy is impossible, that in the very nature of things, it cannot happen.

• I make a distinction between Buddhism with a Capital 'B' and buddhism with a small 'b'. Sri Lanka has the former, in which the state uses Buddhism as an instrument of power, so there are even Buddhists monks who say the Tamils should be eliminated. Thai Buddhists are not perfect either. Some Thai Buddhist monks have compromised with the kind and possess cars and other luxuries. In many Buddhist countries, the emphasis is on being goody-goody, which is not good enough. I am for buddhism with a small 'b' which is non-violent, practical and aims to eliminate the cause of suffering.
