No regrets? Can't say that. I have a few—usually about things I haven't done more than things I have. I definitely don't regret any of my very shitty tattoos. I love my shitty tattoos.

Someone asked when I find time for monk training on top of a day job. I don't have to find time. There's no separation between anything. When I go to work, I'm still a monk. I'm still a priest. I take that with me everywhere.

"Holding on to things from the past is the same as clinging to an image of yourself in the past. If you’re the least bit interested in changing anything about yourself, I suggest you be brave and start letting things go." —Fumio Sasaki, Goodbye, Things

"Our society suffers from a crisis of connection, a crisis of solidarity. We live in a culture of hyper-individualism. There is always a tension between self and society, between the individual and the group. Over the past sixty years we have swung too far toward the self.
