“In our former lives, we were trees. Maybe we have even been oak trees ourselves. This isn’t just Buddhist theory; it’s science. The human species is a very young species - we appeared on the Earth only recently. Before that, we were rock, we were gas, we were minerals, we were single-celled beings. We were plants, we were trees, and now we have become humans… You just sit down and breathe and look, and you can see your past existences… We can learn from everything that is around, that is in us… Everything is preaching the Dharma.”
