Desire Quotes
-
The illness has only made certain ambivalences I'd always been conscious of that much more acute.

The tool the Buddha holds out to free the mind from desire is understanding. Real renunciation is not a matter of compelling ourselves to give up things still inwardly cherished, but of changing our perspective on them so that they no longer bind us.
