Our spirit grows and develops traits in each incarnation that it passes through, and then collects and carries the essence of those traits into future lifetimes. In Buddhist Yoga we refer to our multi-life karmic traits as samskaras.

Love comes from ourselves, not from someone else.

Many spiritual teachers have done this. They have disbanded their whole community because everyone got angry. The karma, at a certain point, has to go back to the person it's intensified and hurts them spiritually.

There can be very powerful releases of energy that can catch you off guard until you have a better sense of what you are doing.

If I used justice, you'd all be dead. The karma that you throw at me when you don't like me - if I just let it come back, you'd all be destroyed in no time.

You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.

Not to follow the dharma leads to disaster. Life will be unhappy.

Just like there are different roads that lead to different places, so there are different levels of awareness that lead to different places and we shift in and out of them. These are the ten thousand states of mind that we study in Zen.

The yoga of love is for those who want an all-consuming relationship with their teacher. They see the teacher as an extension of God, of eternity - which all of us are.

In Tantric Zen you can be humorous and make fun of anything or you can be very serious.

Tantric Zen is the exploration of everything, since everything is a part of enlightenment.

If you try to pull too much power through too soon, you will injure yourself.

The life that we see on our small planet is not necessarily a great reflection of the entire universe. The people are beautiful, but they tend to destroy one another. That's not an operative principle in all dimensions.

When willpower is not guided, it's terrible. Hitler had a lot of will. But he used it for destructive purposes because he lacked wisdom.

It is much easier for a woman to meditate than it is for men, innately. Their subtle physical bodies pick up the kundalini much more quickly.

Don Juan speaks of the island of the tonal as something that's in the middle of the ocean ... the nagual.
