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

It is not necessary to wrap people up. The reason you're doing it is because you don't have enough power. If you had enough power, you could unlock your own personal power - you wouldn't need to control others.

Some people go into tantra with the idea, sort of an intellectual approach, that now they can just do everything and stay high. That doesn't work at all.

When there is time, there has to be suffering. Because in time there's desire and attachment and transition. This is the world of experience.

This is a world that defines everything backwards, a world in which good is called bad, brightness is called darkness, up is called down, enlightenment is called abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior is applauded as reason.

What is perfect? From the Zen mind, perfection is not being there.

Just because you are innocent does not mean that others cannot harm you. History teaches us that lesson.
