'We've all done terrible things in past lives. We have all returned, our lives driven by actions committed in those past lives, to struggle on up towards Buddha Consciousness, all bound to the great wheel. You will continue to feel the load of that wheel, until you have paid out your Karma.'
'But how much longer will that be?'
'Until you realise that your suffering, here today, in this room, is a product of your mind, and that your mind's suffering is an illusion. What you did in past lives was also an illusion within your mind - for your individual mind, too, is illusory. The wheel of suffering is also an illusion.'
