World Quotes

In grade school I was taught that the United States is a melting pot. People from all over the world come here for freedom and to pursue a better life.

Because since the beginningless past we are running after objects, not knowing where our Self is, we lose track of the Original Mind and are tormented all the time by the threatening objective world, regarding it as good or bad, true or false, agreeable or disagreeable.
