To transform breakdowns into breakthroughs is the whole function of a master. The psychotherapist simply patches you up. That is his function. He is not there to transform you. You need a meta-psychology, the psychology of the buddhas. Continue reading

Total Commitment to the Spiritual Path
“Few people are capable of wholehearted commitment, and that is why so few people experience a real transformation through their spiritual practice.

You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
