More From Khaled Hosseini

When a buddha is painted, not only a clay altar or lump of earth is used, but the thirty-two marks, a blade of grass, and the cultivation of wisdom for incalculable eons are used. as a buddha has been painted on a single scroll in this way, all buddhas are painted buddhas, and all painted buddhas are actual buddhas.

... if we take the universe of 'fitting,' countless coats 'fit' backs, and countless boots 'fit' feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones 'fit' gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. in the same way countless opinions 'fit' realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.

I'm often asked by younger filmmakers, 'why do i need to look at old movies?' i've made a number of pictures in the last 20 years and the response i have to give them is that i still consider myself a student. the more pictures i've made in 20 years, the more i realize i really don't know. and i'm always looking for something or someone that i could learn from. i tell the younger filmmakers, and the young students, that do it like painters used to do—that painters do—study the old masters, enrich your palette, expand the canvas. there's always so much more to learn.

'helping others not means we do this at our own expense. not like this. buddhas and bodhisattvas, these people very wise. all their lives they only want one thing: to achieve ultimate happiness. how to do this? by cultivating compassion, by cultivating altruism.
Wise Selfish Teaching
A culture-bearing book, like a mule, bears the culture on its back. no one should sit down to write one deliberately. culture-bearing books appear almost accidentally, like a sudden surge in the stock market. there are books of high quality that are a part of the culture, but that is not the same. they are a part of it. they aren't carrying it anywhere. they may talk about insanity sympathetically, for example, because that's the standard cultural attitude. but they don't carry any suggestion that insanity might be something other than sickness or degeneracy.

A wrong attitude towards nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude towards god, and that the consequence is an inevitable doom. for a long enough time we have believed in nothing but the values arising in a mechanized, commercialized, urbanized way of life: it would be as well for us to face the permanent conditions upon which god allows us to live upon this planet.
