“Since I was a baby my goal was to be on TV because film was just impossible - you never got any Asian women in Western cinema. I grew up wanting to be in 'East-Enders' because film wasn't even a dream. The community were very much like, 'How can you want to act?

“We live in a supermarket of ideas, faiths, practices, theories, ideologies, and much else besides. Never in human history have there been so many movements and ideas struggling to attract our attention. Added to this, the Western world is swamped by material goods and the Western mind is dominated by the goal of material success. In all this confusion, Zen stands out as a voice of sanity. It represents a different way of seeing the world, one based upon the rediscovery of who we really are and have always been, through revealing to us our true nature.” WorldWayMindHumansIdeasDifferentGoalVoiceAttentionPracticeStruggleSeeingMovementMaterialsTheoryWesternConfusionIdeologyDifferent WaysGoodsSanityStanding OutRevealingHuman HistoryTrue NatureSupermarketsWestern WorldSeeing The WorldRediscovery Author:David Fontana
