Stephen Batchelor Quotes About Heart

Quotes about: Heart

• I reject karma and rebirth not only because I find them unintelligible, but because I believe they obscure and distort what the Buddha was trying to say.

  Stephen Batchelor

  Stephen Batchelor

  Heart, Greed, Mind

• This body is fragile. It is just flesh. Listen to the heartbeat. Life depends on the pumping of a muscle.
