The more lives you have, the harder it is to change, yet the stronger you are. It's a kind of funny dichotomy.

The kundalini energy is often compared to a snake that is coiled up. Because it is coiled up it can spring very quickly. It can jump and extend itself very far.

It's funny, people who have a lot of sexual energy think of themselves as being not spiritual. They are probably more spiritually inclined. All that sexual energy is kundalini.

At the end of meditation period we always bow and we touch our head to the floor and say "Buddha's name be praised."

Samadhi is an experience of such depth, such joy, such indifference and such love, that nothing else is really like it or worthwhile in comparison, yet it gives shape, color and meaning to everything.

You don't have to meditate. You don't have to practice self-discovery and Buddhism. You should only practice self-discovery if you really have had it with the human world.

When you live a life devoid of ritual and convention, with honesty and self-effacement, then you are on the road to freedom.
