"Jika Anda tertarik pada keyakinan mistis yang melibatkan kehidupan kontemplatif, agama Buddha akan sangat masuk akal. Tapi kemudian, tidak semua orang adalah seorang mistikus pemula. Sebenarnya, sangat sedikit orang yang yakin. Jadi jenis agama lain, yang mungkin lebih pragmatis dan berorientasi layanan, mungkin menarik bagi yang lain. Jadi saya pikir Anda harus memperhitungkan nilai-nilai Anda."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

If you were going to be attracted to a mystical faith which involved the contemplative life, Buddhism would be quite reasonable. But then, not everybody is a budding mystic. In fact, it's pretty certain that very few people are. So another kind of religion, one that was perhaps more pragmatic and service-oriented, might appeal to those others. So I think you have to take your values into account.
