One of John's favorite quotes is:"The marigolds blooming in the gardens,
Embellishing the entire estate,
To dust are reduced when come winters piercing storms.
Now, while radiantly beautiful,
They should be offered to the objects of refuge.
One may cherish property and wealth
Gained by cunning means,
But one day all one's possessions
Will fall to other's hands.
Now, while I have power over them,
May I use them to benefit the world.
The river so sparklingly clear
Meanders lazily over the plains;
One day it will disappear,
...Expand for more
Leaving behind not a drop of water.
Now, while it flows with strength,
it should be used to irrigate the fields.
They work, the various magical crafts
For harming others and benefiting oneself;
But one day these methods are forgotten
And even their names are lost to darkness.
Now, while my mind burns clear and strong,
May I meditate on the teachings vast and profound.
Nothing real stands
Behind an echoed sound; still,
When one's voice unexpectedly reverberates
In the stomach of a cave,
The mind jumps
With great strength.
Similarly this string of empty words
Has no final essence,
No ultimate power or meaning;
Yet maybe it will affect my mind,
Whose nature also
In illusion is bound.
--The Dalai Lama VII".
More about John:"Sentient beings are numberless;
we vow to liberate them.
Delusions are inexhaustible; we vow to transcend them. The Dharma is boundless;
we vow to master it.
The Buddha's way is unsurpassable;
we vow to embody it.
If you're still reading, it's either amusement, enchantment, or disbelief.".
