Our bodies are communities of 60 trillion cells. Each cell continuously goes through cycles of creation and destruction. This process has never ceased for even a moment. Thus, our bodies have never been the same at any given moment. We simply perceive them as being the same.

Every single cell is like a universe. Within a tiny space invisible to the naked eye, an immense world unfolds. When we look inside a cell, we find countless molecules, and within those molecules are numerous atoms, and within those atoms are countless particles. Just as there is a universe within a speck of dust, and “eternity” within a “moment,” the universe is within us, and we are within the universe. We and the universe are a single community.
