\u201cWhen we begin to practice, I think our concepts and notions of enlightenment are formed by what drives us to practice. Some of us believe we\u2019re special, or we want to be special. Some of us want to be free of suffering. Some of us want life to make sense. I think these notions fall away as the practice works on us.\u201d<\/p>\n
