« Burhân al-Din, a Sufi master, says: "You can run away from everything, it's easy; but it's very difficult to run away from yourself. The source of your suffering is the self. You will not know rest until you have become nothing and annihilate the self and your desires. Die before you die and bury your "self" in the grave of non-desire, then you will have attained happiness. » »

« In this train that rushes irretrievably, which is speeding towards death, at the mercy of derailments, setbacks, unforeseen events, how to make a good journey? The challenge seems superhuman. It is not a question of supporting, accepting, nor of resolving the tragic but downright to love it. »

« I remain convinced that a Christian and a disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha can move hand in hand, walking happily on the same paths. Climbing together the peaks or differences, the barriers or the walls do not rise. »
