“Practicing on only one level of your being will not enlighten all of you. If you just meditate, your psychodynamic ‘junk’ will not automatically go away. If you just meditate, your job or your relationship with your spouse will not automatically get better. On the other hand, if you only do psychotherapy, do not think that you will be relieved from the burden of death and terror. Render unto Freud what is Freud\u2019s, and render unto Buddha what is Buddha\u2019s. And best of all, render unto the Divine all of yourself, by engaging all that you are.”<\/p>\n
