QUOTE
All things arise when the appropriate conditions are present, and all things pass away as conditions change. Behind the process, there is no ‘self’ who is running the show.
Joseph Goldstein is an American teacher of Buddhist insight meditation (vipassana) and lovingkindness meditation (metta). He and fellow teacher Sharon Salzberg cofounded the Insight Meditation Society. He studied Buddhist meditation with teachers in India, Burma, and Tibet and is the author of several books.
