An old Buddhist monk I met in India told me that Europeans themselves are the most undisciplined people I have ever met because they are constantly wandering in unreality. Either they dwell on their past, which is unreality, because it no longer exists, or they reflect on their future, which is the other unreality, because it does not exist yet. Instead of living the present with full intensity, it somehow passes, runs away.

"Egy öreg buddhista szerzetes, akivel Indiában találkoztam, azt mondta nekem, hogy maguk európaiak a legfegyelmezetlenebb emberek, akikkel valaha találkoztam, mert állandóan az irrealitásban bolyonganak. Vagy a múltjukon rágódnak, ami irrealitás, mert már nincs, vagy a jövőjükön elmélkednek, ami a másik irrealitás, mert még nincs. Ahelyett, hogy teljes intenzitással megélnék a jelent, amely közben valahogy elmúlik, elszalad."
