"Ultimately,
life is very short. Even if we live one hundred years more, that is
still very short. We don't have time to hate anybody. We don't have time
to judge anybody. So how are we going to spend the rest of our life
from this moment on? This is a good question. 'How am I going to spend
the rest of my life from this moment on?' We must realize that life is
extremely short. It is like the snap of
our fingers until the time we die. So we have to realize that ultimately
there is nothing to gain and nothing to lose. Ultimately there are no
enemies, there are no friends. There is not even any 'I.' From this
moment on the only thing that matters is to live life from compassion,
awareness, and wisdom."
