Another "Quote that I like"


"The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained to liberation from the self." - Einstein

In Buddhism the entire idea of self is seen as an illusion, one which causes immeasurable suffering; this false idea gives rise to the consequent tendency to try to protect the self or ego and to preserve its interests, which is futile since nothing is permanent anyway.
