Meditations from the Mat by Rolf Gates






All quotes from Rolf's book


All of us are set on a trajectory by the circumstances of our birth, gender, class, family, and life experiences.  The sum total of all these forces in our lives, and the choices we make concerning those forces, is our karma.  Most of us simply enact our karma.  Privilege begets privilege, disadvantage begets disadvantage.


The spiritual journey can be likened to waking up one day to find oneself mindlessly floating down a river.  The first step is to acknowledge that we are in a river.  The second step is to understand that we have a choice about it.


Dharma is a gift from God inscribed upon the heart.


Dharma is what makes you you.
