“Health is normal. The human body is a self-repairing, self-defending, self-healing marvel. Disease is relatively difficult to induce, considering the body's powerful immune system. However, this complicated and delicate machinery can be damaged if fed the wrong fuel during the formative years. ... Healthy living with nutritional excellence throughout life can slow the decline of aging. It can prevent the years and years of suffering in ill health that is so common today as people get older and become dependent on medical treatments, drugs, and surgery. Nutritional excellence is the only real fountain of youth.”

“In Tibet, there were innumerable great scholars and bodhisattvas, but unless a scholar was told by his root guru to compose a commentary on a specific text or received a prediction from his yidam deity, he would not write one. Even when great scholars or bodhisattvas did write something, they would first check themselves to make sure that their intention was not merely to win respect, prove themselves to be a great scholar, gain material wealth, or acquire a good reputation. As every Dharma text is meant to benefit being and guide them on the spiritual path, they would only write if they had a pure, unselfish motivation. Even in the context of the Sutrayana path, though the past great scholars and realized beings wrote many commentaries on the Buddha's teachings, these writings would first be examined by other great scholars to determine whether the text was in exact accord with the Buddha's teachings. If the text did agree with the Buddha's teachings, it would be presented to the Dharma king and discussed with him. If they all agreed that the text was qualified, the writer would be invited to discuss the text and answer questions from the Dharma king and the scholars. If it was perfect and qualified as a text that could benefit beings, the author would be recognized as a good scholar and the text would be respected. If the author claimed to be a scholar but wrote a commentary that the others found not to be in accordance with the Buddha's teachings and therefore not beneficial, they would proclaim that the text had no value. It would be tied to a dog's tail, and after the dog had run around with it for a while, the text would be thrown into a fire. This was because a commentary would be read by many people, and if it was not in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha, readers could develop wrong views, create negative karma, and fall into the lower realms in their next life.”

“Society tells my students that people like them should aspire to prison the same way I understood I would go to college. They only listen to media that reinforces what they’ve been told all their lives: that they are worthless and that they will die or be incarcerated before they reach twenty-five.”

“L'oscurità intima, buona, la calda culla dell'anima, la patria perduta si dischiusero: il tempo del destino informe, il primo palpito indeciso sul fondo della sorgente, sotto la quale riposa la preistoria con i suoi sogni di foreste vergini. Tenta pure, o anima, erra, rovista ciecamente nel bagno sazio degli istinti innocenti! Ti conosco, anima timorosa, nulla ti è necessario, nulla è per te nutrimento, bevanda e sonno più che il ritorno ai tuoi inizi. Lì l'onda ti gorgoglia vicino, tu sei onda, tu sei bosco, non ci sono più dentro e fuori, tu voli uccello nell'aria, nuoti pesce nel mare, suggi luce e sei luce, assaggi l'oscurità e sei oscurità. Noi andiamo, anima, nuotiamo e voliamo, ridiamo e annodiamo i fili strappati con le delicate dita dello spirito. Lì risuonano beate le vibrazioni distrutte. Non cerchiamo più Dio. Noi siamo Dio. Noi siamo il mondo. Uccidiamo e moriamo, creiamo e risorgiamo insieme coi nostri sogni. E il nostro sogno più bello è il cielo azzurro, il nostro sogno più bello è il mare, il nostro sogno più bello è la notte stellata, è il pesce, il suono chiaro e gaio, la luce chiara e gaia. Tutto è il nostro sogno, il nostro sogno più bello. Ora siamo morti e ritornati terra. Ora abbiamo composto una costellazione. Voci risuonano e ogni voce è la voce della madre. Gli alberi frusciano e ciascuno ha mormorato sopra la nostra culla. Strade si diramano a stella e ogni strada porta a casa.”

“Il potenziale trasformativo è qualcosa che siamo state abituate a dimenticare Riguarda il femmineo e da esso parte Prima e ultima è la Dea dei passaggi Colei che con molti nomi che ne dividono le attitudini talvolta Fa nascere, cura, fa declinare e dona la morte come materna anch’essa dei passaggi Così come la Spirale sacro simbolo, anche la Dea in tutte le sue attitudini ed espressioni accompagna i fenomeni che la riguardano, è la sua partenogenesi”
