Karmamudra Quotes

“Sometimes just working with our mind alone is not enough–we have to make use of our body as well as our channels to ensure our transformation. Yoga, prostration, circumambulation–all these work with our body and the channels.”
― Nida Chenagtsang, Karmamudra: The Yoga of Bliss: Sexuality in Tibetan Medicine and Buddhism

“These practices show us that everything is energy–anger, jealousy, pride–these emotions are all energy. You let them arise and even if you start with anger or other ‘bad’ emotions, you end up with a happy result. That’s what Karmamudra is all about. You don’t say "stop having anger, stop feeling this or that emotion." Instead, you become the master of your emotions, you realize you can work with their energy and use it. That’s the essence of Vajrayana. Vajrayana is the indestructible vehicle. What is it that is indestructible? The non-dualistic mind is indestructible, the bliss of its nature, of pristine awareness is indestructible. Nothing can destroy that bliss–suffering, pain, anger, jealousy, pride, these and all other poisons are no match for it. Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism thus offers very fine and precise teachings and methods that allow us to transform our emotions.”
