  • I could not agree more.

    And he has a beautiiful actress daughter. Is she a Buddhist too? Interesting family.

  • Very good. Similar idea in the (Hindu) Bhagavad-Gita (2:12): [Krishna speaking to Arjuna]: "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change." To the greatest degree possible each moment, may all sentient beings find true happiness!
