Buddhism is not just going to temple, being at a ceremony and dressing up. That is the church of Buddhism. Esoteric Buddhism is to move beyond this world.

The outer form of Buddhism, of practice, is etiquette - a series of ways to live intelligently that keep you alive, awake and happy, wakeful.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Practice

Etiquette is an intelligent way to live. There are certain ways of living you will learn being around advanced students and mostly your teacher. These are methods that have been handed down for thousands of years.

Teacher, Buddhist, Buddhism

When we lack etiquette, we trash things. We trash each other. We trash the environment. We lose sight of the value of things. We suffer alienation when our spirit is disconnected from our physical awareness.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Sight

In the beginning we define what is spiritual. But as you go on, you see that everybody and everything is an instrument of infinity.

Spiritual, Buddhist, Buddhism

If you attain liberation do not feel that it matters or it is important. You had nothing to do with it. If you are bound by ignorance do not feel bad. You had nothing to do with it.

Buddhist, Ignorance, Buddhism

People enter states of consciousness where they think they've become enlightened. The best thing to do, if you've gone through one of those phases, is to be sensible, laugh at yourself for how foolish you were.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Thinking

As Buddha points out, you should not rely on the opinions of others for validation of your internal progression.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Validation

It has been my experience as a teacher over the years and incarnations that what really counts are not techniques. What really counts is spirit, love. What really counts is a sense of propriety and dedication.

Teacher, Buddhist, Buddhism

What is important in self-discovery is the person who keeps going, who has a smile, who is kind to others, who works hard at everything, and who keeps their mind on their own business and not everybody else's.

Buddhist, Hard Work, Buddhism

Sometimes there are people who only meditate with a teacher. They ride the teacher's energy. They don't really learn how to meditate. They learn how to ride the energy.

Teacher, Buddhist, Buddhism

One person's cult is another person's spiritual organization.

Spiritual, Buddhist, Buddhism

It's necessary to respect all other ways and other teachings on the subject because even though they may not make a lot of sense to us, they might to someone else. Who are we to say?

Buddhist, Teaching, Buddhism

Just because it doesn't work out for you, doesn't mean that it's not wonderful for someone else.

Buddhist, Mean, Buddhism

What's important is to be supportive of all who practice. Anyone on any level, even if they don't call it self-discovery, who is seeking to awaken to their own potentials and possibilities, to the inner freedom, deserves your respect and support.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Discovery

If you respect it in others, you respect it in yourself.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Etiquette

Don't preach about meditation.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Meditation

One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a god. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind.

Teacher, Buddhist, Buddhism

Once in a while, you will see someone really drippy. The person has to stare at the teacher all the time with that devoted and disgusting and sick look. It's boring, misplaced devotionalism.

Teacher, Buddhist, Buddhism

The hallmark of a person who is following the pathway to enlightenment is that they bring excellence into everything, no matter how crappy they feel.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Excellence

There is no such thing as spiritual achievement; it is simply an awareness intrinsic to all of life.

Spiritual, Buddhist, Buddhism

Do not envy others. If someone gets a larger piece of cake, be happy for them. They'll get fat and you'll stay thin.

Buddhist, Buddhism, Cake
