If you find a Tantric master – he has you go and do all the things you hate to do.
Tantra is spiritual, not religious. It deals with the spirit. Religion is just an applied body of doctrines that’s believed or not believed by one or more individuals. Spirituality is the science of metaphysics.
Tantra is non-dogmatic, in the sense that we don’t care about the sensual world; we don’t care about other religious traditions. To not care doesn’t mean that we don’t learn.
What we seek to do in Tantric Buddhism is to liquefy ourselves. Life will automatically bring us to the next stage. You don’t really have to know where you’re going – It’s like breathing.
There’s no right or wrong in the study of enlightenment. There’s only experience.
There is nothing that you shouldn’t do. Everything can be used as a tool for liberation.
Living in the spiritual world is very easy, once you grow accustomed to it. But initially, it puts you through some changes.
Tantra and adventure are very, very connected. Perhaps the greatest enemy for one who’s journeying along the spiritual path is complacency.
Tantra involves radical change, a change in states of awareness.
Be radical! The reason you feel so miserable is because you put spirituality in a form. You boxed it, franchised it. You decided spirituality was a certain way but then you got stuck in the way.
Your soul wants experience. It wants the world. You’re a human – and your eternal. The two are the same.
Music is part of the tantra, the dance of life. Before your eyes, before your awareness, is the procession of eternity.
Be neither attracted nor repulsed is the message of Tantric Buddhism. Don’t be drawn to something, don’t run away from it. Just naturally accept whatever comes into life.
In the world of Buddhist mind, in the advanced states, we go beyond time, space, life, death and Newsweek.
Tantric Buddhism is just a collection of things that work by doing them. And sometimes we add new things. We have electronic music; we did not have it in Tibet.
The emphasis in tantra is not what you find yourself doing, it’s on meditation.
It’s not what you do that matters. It’s not what you say. There’s nothing that is not holy or spiritual. Be beyond definition, beyond categorization, be absorbed.
Part of what we seek in Buddhism is the sense of quiet observation. We don’t get so involved in a state of mind that we forget that it’s just another transient state of mind, no matter how much ecstasy or agony is involved.
The perfect view of existence comes from an unclouded, uncluttered life and mind whereby the radiance of perfect attention of the mind of the universe floods us at every moment. This is Buddhism. This is being on the path.
We’re connected to the Buddhist order, to the mind of enlightenment. All day long we draw the power and force from that world, from all the teachers and all the adherents of the practices and the principles.
