Just when you get your meditation center set up an earthquake knocks it down. Just when you request the amount of money needed to cover the mere costs of the teachings someone objects and you take a loss. Just when you learn one set of mantras the guru creates a new set and forbids the old ones. Just when you initiated ten thousand meditators your priviliges for performing the ceremony are revoked. There is no purity of the teachings. Because that implies the ability to control them, which implies that all the chaotic and mind staggering possibilities for change can be limited to a set of rules or standards. This is maya. This questing to control. One who demands control against all odds is a Mara. > > The only thing that can preserve a tradition is love, not rules, not institutions, not an army of soldiers with shoulder nukes. Love.

All we need is love huh? Been tried before.... a million times. Unfortunately people are not stable in it, and therefore large groups of yogic flyers generating bliss consciousness for the world is the only way. Otherwise the next terrorist bomb will be in an American city, and it will be nuclear. So stop complaining. "All we need is love", just ain't gonna cut it pal.
