We need to change our idea of what aging is. If I know my biological potential is 130 years, then I don't consider myself middle-aged until I'm 65. One of the great principles of mind/body medicine is that expectancies determine outcome. If you expect to remain strong in old age, you will. - Deepak Chopra

Spiritual practice is perfected through compassion. We should develop the attitude: “I am doing this spiritual training for the service, happiness, benefit, and enlightenment of all beings; I am training in order to make myself a proper tool to serve and fulfill the needs of all beings.” In the sutras, this is called bodhicitta, the enlightened attitude.
This intention to dedicate our training to others is a powerful way to open our closed, restricted hearts. It produces a strong spiritual energy —a blessing— and sows in us the seed of enlightenment. If we develop and maintain this “enlightenment mind,” then whatever we do will spontaneously become spiritual training and a means of benefit for all. - Tulku Thondop

Male aspects is necessary for enlightenment. In fact, both are necessary throughout the spiritual path. The union of masculine and feminine energies is key to our ultimate spiritual freedom. Without the male or female aspect, there is no enlightenment. - Gelek Rimpoche
