If you know that you have had countless lives, then what happens in this life is not quite as traumatic.

The only loser who walks away from a wise man is the one who walks away.

The only problem that occurs in the practice of tantra is when you don't practice tantra and fool yourself. You get caught up in powerful vortexes of negative energy which pull you into the lower bardo regions ... into the mud.

Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.

Anything that ends with death isn't really mind, just the things that pass through a mind.

If you are not happier every day, if you don't see a progression of development, then you are certainly not practicing yoga or Buddhism and therefore you cannot be amassing any positive karma.
