Now, tantra is a little bit different than other forms of Buddhism because in tantra what we do is we use the sensorial worlds as access points or pathways to ineffability.

It is only when we are by ourselves that we can know others. When we are with other human beings we are distracted. People try and dream us into their dreams.

Those who scorn and hate the world and hate themselves miss the point. The point was that there wasn't one. There was no place to go to.

The astral is the supporting ground for the physical dimension.

The mind is like a lake. It reflects eternity when it's very still. If ripples appear, lots of them, then the reflection is not clear. We lose the clarity of the perfect reflection.

It is necessary to have a very liberal and simultaneously very conservative mentality to practice Tantric Zen.

We hide from ourselves by being with others.
