Buddhist Quotation

“[T]he goal of Buddhism is a complete and ultimate understanding of the phenomenal world, both inner and outer. Subtracting oneself from reality solves nothing at all. Nirvana is the very opposite of indifference towards the world. It’s infinite compassion and love toward all beings in their totality.”
(Revel and Ricard, ‘The Monk and the Philosopher’, p. 177, in David Cromwell, ‘Beyond Indifference’, http://www.medialens.org/cogitations/040430_COG_Beyond_Indifference.php)
