As a dialectical teacher, I have had many lives where I have taught Zen and Tibetan Buddhism and mysticism. I teach in many different modalites. But the theme that unites them - is love.

Meditate. Look at the candle flame - or whatever object you have chosen to gaze upon - with intensity.

What you will be in your next life is the sum total of the realizations that you have had in this lifetime.

The Buddhist mindset seeks to eliminate the self. That is to say, what we want to experience is life, not self. When there's less self and more life, we're very content, and when there's more self and less life we're quite unhappy.

You can measure your power in your ability to stop thought. The longer you can stop thought, the more powerful you are.

When you focus on a chakra, it's very easy to bring subtle physical energies into your consciousness.

Your ability to use mind whatever way you choose is outrageous. Much will depend upon how intensely you approach the study and the state of mind in which you begin.
