Here’s a short video clip of Geshe Michael Roach laying out his vision for changing the future of the world.
“Suppose I know how to plant money, imagine how frustrating it is to watch people suffer their whole life looking for money. Just learn how to plant it. I truly believe that this will change the future of our world. I believe it’s another step in civilization. I believe that in fifty years from now, if our work succeeds, people will just plant what they need.”
“Where? In other people. This system is like an echo or a basketball. You can’t make an echo without a wall, and you can’t bounce a basketball without a floor. You can’t plant a mental seed without another person who is in need. It’s not possible. It can’t be done.”
