“How do you make yogurt? With milk. But is yogurt milk? Of course, if there’s no milk, there’s no yogurt. But is yogurt the same substance as the original milk? No. The next life, or the next moment in this life—the next moment of change, the moment when we move from one place to another, or from one instant to another—happens in a similar way. What I am now is not exactly the same as what I will be in the next life. It’s as different as yogurt is from milk. If it’s milk now, perhaps in the next life it will be yogurt.”
