Everyone’s in a hurry. What can I say about the Mahayana in one minute or less that will be helpful to you. That’s the challenge I set myself for the Mahayana Minutes series. Crazy, no?

The unique insight of the Mahayana is that the causes of suffering are always craving and attachment to projections, not to real things.

We need to challenge the materialism of the modern world by exposing its inherent contradictions.

We have lots of confusion about the past and the future that causes us suffering. Recognizing that they are both dreamlike is the remedy for this confusion.

Compassion is not a feeling or an emotion. It’s the wish to save beings from suffering.
