“If someone puts food in my bowl, I am grateful. It gives me strength to teach. But if no one offers me food, this is good too – I get to go on a diet, which I could use! If students ask me to lead classes, I am happy to go anywhere. And if they take me sightseeing, I love to learn new things to help my teachings. But if no one invites me out, then I get to sit quietly and meditate. This makes me happy too. Whatever happens, I enjoy it.”
