No one's lazy. What we would call the laziest person on earth expends a tremendous amount of energy to not do things.

I like extreme athletics, extreme meditation and extremely beautiful women. Perhaps I'm an extreme person, or it's simply my Karma. But I must tell you, as if you hadn't read about me in a newspaper or seen me on a magazine format television show, there are extreme risks involved with all three.

In this lifetime you can lose everything. Everything passes here.

If you find a Tantric master - he has you go and do all the things you hate to do.

If I ever write an autobiography about teaching meditation in the West, I'll call it "Pissing In the Wind - Teaching Buddhism in America".

Be honest! You are not going to want to admit energy loss. Someone is making it hard for you to look.

We could take all the pleasures that have ever been and will ever be in all the universes and add them up into one experience. If you were absorbed in nirvana, it wouldn't be noticed.
