Buddhism has existed forever, just like we have, and occasionally it's codified; it's put together into a system by someone who likes to codify.

The world has always been this way. I am sure in the mystery world of Egypt, ancient Atlantis, you pick a cosmos - There is always somebody on your case.

As you meditate, you will discover, pleasantly, that you too can see beyond this life, that you can see your eternality.

The emphasis is on meditation in Tantric Zen. The experience of meditation in formal practice, zazen, where you're sitting down and meditating and concentrating.

Tantra is for the person who has gone beyond the rules. They've learned the rules so well that now they can go beyond them.

If you find a Tantric master - he has you go and do all the things you hate to do.

We feel crowded by other people; we feel crowded by social rules; we feel crowded by ourselves, mainly.
