Zen students see themselves as athletes. Their competitive sport is enlightenment; only with enlightenment do we compete.

Once you are enlightened, you can do whatever you want without fear or sorrow. You can go snowboarding, get married, stay single, be rich and famous, or live unknown in a high Himalayan cave. It is up to you.

Anyone who meditates for a period of time will gradually become more sensitized to all of life.

Love the fading flowers as much as you love the undifferentiated which lasts forever.

Tantra means the avoidance of a set or defined form of spirituality. Tantra is intuitive self-discovery.

Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.

On your journey, remember there is no end. That is true knowledge. There is no final knowledge. There is no final enlightenment, that is a very finite, human way of seeing things.
