We are talking about life. We are life, we have life, and we have all kinds of complications happening in our life. We can’t go to the marriage counselor, the scientist, the psychologist, or the masters of spirituality to solve our problems. We’ve got to do it ourselves. We’ve got to face the whole thing by ourselves. We are the person who initiates the situation, and we’ve got to see the whole thing through.

From “Borrowing the Buddha’s Heart, ” Cynicism and Magic: Intelligence and Intuition on the Buddhist Path, p 87.
