The highest type of meditation is done in silence. In silence there are no mantras. Mantras are not essential, but they can be very helpful.

From my own personal encounters and studies with both Tantric and Zen Buddhist monks, I have found them to be humorous, warm, charming, and compassionate.

The practice of meditation is an ancient practice. It's been practiced in many lands, for many lifetimes. You may have practiced it before.

Instead of your ego directing you and making countless mistakes, allow yourself to be guided by the invisible principles of the universe within your action.

The nagual gives you the unknown; it gives you reality; it leads you to the totality of yourself.

There's a place where everything comes together and where it's all the same. That state of mind, in which all things are the same, is the state of mind of Tantric Zen.

Innocence does not protect you from the evil designs of others.
