Some time
flirting with Buddhism, and spending some
time in a Buddhist retreat. I mean, I felt at
the time that I was, you know, um, Buddha's answer to
everything he wanted man to be, but I'm... the one thing that
hung over from that time was the feeling
of impermanence and transience. That was the one thing
that really struck home about everything
that I was learning. Nothing's gonna
stay around very long. I mean, you know,
everything changes different rates. Some seem to me sort
of established for a bit, but they're only moving at
a slower rate than other things and they're all inevitably
sort of a change-over

and spending some
time in a Buddhist retreat.
00:00:05.136 --> 00:00:07.367
I mean, I felt at
the time that I was, you know,
00:00:07.402 --> 00:00:12.845
um, Buddha's answer to
everything he wanted man to be,
00:00:12.088 --> 00:00:15.507
but I'm... the one thing that
hung over from that time
00:00:15.542 --> 00:00:19.999
was the feeling
of impermanence and transience.
00:00:19.084 --> 00:00:21.887
That was the one thing
that really struck home
00:00:21.922 --> 00:00:23.823

of established for a bit,
00:00:31.228 --> 00:00:34.999
but they're only moving at
a slower rate than other things
00:00:34.003 --> 00:00:36.968
and they're all inevitably
sort of a change-over.
