Women are fully capable of doing everything.

Tibetans - at least traditionally - are so totally permeated with the dharma that they don't see any difference between dharma and everyday life, really. And therefore they enjoy it because they don't make a separation.

We've been human countless times and done everything you can imagine. So we've been planting all these negative seeds, and they're going to come up.

I find that being with other people dissipates my energy.

Most of the people I talk to are not going to go off and live in a cave. Why should they? So I talk about how people can stop separating dharma practice - going on retreats, going to dharma centers, hearing talks, reading books - from their ordinary life.

Either we're aware and present, or we're not. There is no half way.

Women are fully capable of doing everything.
