"So many great thinkers, philophers, zen masters, and scientists have walked the Earth before us. The same questions concerning life and death, the nature of man, God(s), happiness, the universe, etc. have been asked and answered from all different angles. Everything appears to have already been said and confuted. Yet there is one 'Truth' that seems to bring together numerous aspects of philosophies, mystical religions, and scientific theories: a full knowledge of ourselves brings clarity to the mind. Whether we call it Enlightment or something else, full awareness of our being allows us to understand things that would otherwise appear confused. This is my aim in life which I believe to be attainable through meditation and a balanced lifestyle." (Biella, Italy - 25 April 1975) -
