You have to be very, very careful not to pick up too much of the lower energies, the toxic energies, because they'll make you very ill. They can kill you. They can cause cancer, debilitative diseases of all types.

You gain power through practicing meditation and concentration. You gain power by doing anything you like that makes you feel good. You gain power by being happy.

One or two of my friends set longevity records for people who had AIDS. What they did, incredibly hard though it was, was to practice meditation, positive thinking and they worked out physically quite a bit.

Take your energy - instead of losing it in all the little hassles and all the little battles you could have fought with opponents who didn't matter.

There is suffering and there is joy. Your life is very short, and then you're back again for another and another, forever, unless you step off the wheel.

There are two worlds, the world of desire and the world of enlightenment. The world of enlightenment doesn't go anywhere. It is endless, luminous perfection. The world of desire leads to more desire.

Nirvana is the pure and perfect schness of thatness of being.
