Meditation is coming back to your original self, if we can use self without a sense of self. It's perfect, clear light, radiant, infinite mind of the universe, as it is, without identifying with qualities

I was initiated as a Buddhist monk at the age of 19, but I think that initiation is simply a starting point.

The thing about Buddhism is that it stresses attainment of something ineffable, that is where it differs from other religions in that it's more correct. We live in a world with promises of paradise.

We're not really indigenous to this world, this world being a temporal plane of reality.

Many men have deep rooted problems regarding the status of women, and during sex these problems come out. They consciously or unconsciously project anger and hate towards women they have sex with. This energy enters a woman's subtle physical body and damages it.

When we open our heart up to someone, that energy, of course, comes into us.

Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.
