Interviewer: “I have thoroughly looked over your work and your history. Your commitment and your passion for humanity shines through it all.

I want to ask, though, how do you keep going, with this backlash that gets thrown at you sometimes, these lies anonymous people spread about you on the internet, how do you do it?”

Da Pah Kwan Yin San: “I have an amazing and awesome team of eight superstar students that always have my back and I have theirs, and we stick together and get through it all, no matter what.

I keep going because of Love. I see that Love in me. I see it in them. I see it in all the people out there that are appreciative of our work. And I see it in the people that rather wish we didn’t exist or that we would turn around and give up. It is in them too, albeit inverted, twisted up, but it’s still Love. There is no difference.

People don’t stop loving their children because they misbehave or throw a temper tantrum. They recognize, or at least I hope they do, that the tantrum is just a temporary appearance of a finite wave, which is as much a part of the ocean of Love underneath it as is everything else. It’s still is an expression of the same infinite creator, or god as some like to say.”

Interviewer: “It’s because of Love?”

Da Pah Kwan Yin San: “There is no power in the universe that is greater, more prevalent, or more foundational. Love…, (pauses) there is nothing that comes before it or after it, which makes it the most awesome and original building block of reality.”

Interviewer: “Let’s get into that some more. You call these building blocks, San, if I’m not mistaken?”
