There is really only one Zen Master ... and that's yourself.

When I was very, very young - four, five, six - I could see inside people, their motives, their dreams, their apprehension of reality.

I love people who make mistakes. That's why I'm in the teaching business. I love people who make mistakes because I enjoy watching them learn and helping them, assisting them. I find it a beautiful process.

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

As long as you fight the system, all of the things that are part of the tonal of the times, then you will be imbalanced and will not do well in the other levels of attention.

You have to elevate yourself to that point and bring your mind into the Godhead, into nirvana, into that perfect and pure radiant knowledge. It will not come to you. It never does.

Any good athletic is always in a state of perpetual training, as is the Zen student.
