+Vajrayana is very different from the New Age approach.  The difference is that
+the Vajrayana teachings are controlled by the lineage.  I know we don’t like
+the word control, but the Vajrayana teachings are actually held by the
+authority of the lineage.  I know we also don’t like the word authority, but
+we have it in Vajrayana.  When we have this pure lineage, this genuine
+lineage, there is no space for our egocentric interpretation of dharma.  We
+cannot interpret dharma like the New Age gurus.  We cannot invent a new
+lineage because a lineage must be received.  It must be received by
+transmission.  It is not something we can just create here.  That would be New
+Age, probably from California.
