“Pain is the world. I don't have anywhere to run.”

“The world's very small when you don't have anywhere to go.”

“Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to...”

“Well, I don't have much competition here.""You don't have much competition anywhere.”

“The buddha-dharma does not invite us to dabble in abstract notions. Rather, the task it presents us with is to attend to what we actually experience, right in this moment. You don't have to look "over there." You don't have to figure anything out. You don't have to acquire anything. And you don't have to run off to Tibet, or Japan, or anywhere else. You wake up right here. In fact, you can only wake up right here.So you don't have to do the long search, the frantic chase, the painful quest. You're already right where you need to be.”

“I think maybe Hell is a place. But you don't have to stay anywhere forever.”
