What I like about Tibetan Buddhism is it was taken to Tibet in the 7th century and then again in the 11th. It has everything that had been collected in India up until that time. And so on all levels, it's so vast.

The Buddha always emphased the important of good friends.

If you just follow your inner calling, then you just go ahead.

Caves are beautiful things you know. They're thermostatically controlled - warm when it's cold out and cool when it's warm. Very quiet. Nobody there. Especially in the winter - it was perfect. Also, because it's a cave, you can't do much with it.

When Tibetan lamas die they stay in a realization of clear light nature of the mind for several days or weeks.

We have to transform those ordinary actions of our day into dharma practice because otherwise nothing is going to move.

From the point of view of emptiness, there is neither being nor non-being, but we're not on the point of view of emptiness, we're on the point of view of our relative being.
