"[A world is] your six senses. And samsara is not a place, it's an activity. In other words, it's made up out of your actions. That's where the danger lies, but that's also where the promise lies.
Because if we were just physical beings: there's no way you could use the processes of the physical world to get out of the physical world. But because the world is made of our actions: you can use the processes of actions to get out of this web of actions that we've woven for ourselves. This is where the fact of the complexity of karma actually works to our advantage." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "The End of the World", 11min mp3 audio,
