Instead of allowing ourselves to be led and trapped by our feelings, we should let them disappear as soon as they form, like letters drawn on water with a finger.

HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

If we can recognize and abide in the nature as it is, then grasping and obscurations will be removed

The Khenpo Rinpoches

Strive with a good heart to do everything that benefits others. Follow in the footsteps of the wise and examine finely everything you do. Do not be the slave of unexamined fashions. Be sparing with your words. Be thoughtful rather, and examine situations carefully. For the roots of discrimination must be nourished: the desire to do all that should be done and to abandon all that should be abandoned

HH Dudjom Rinpoche

We have a long journey to make through the six realms of samsara. We should approach the Dharma like a sailor making his meticulous preparations for a voyage around the world, and prepare ourselves properly for our far longer journey ...

HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

In the company of others, guard your speech; Whenever you are alone, guard your mind.

Atisha Dipamkara Shrijnana (982-1054)

To explore and understand our own mind is the most important thing we can do in this lifetime.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

The essence of meditation is the continuity of mindfulness: maintaining a steady focus and not letting the mind wander.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

Love, compassion, and wisdom are the essence of any daily spiritual practice.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

When a person has true love and compassion, patience will spontaneously be there.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

To wish happiness for others, even for those who want to do us harm, is the source of consummate happiness.

HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Through observation and contemplation, we are able to see how change is natural. We understand that change and movement apply to everything, we can accept what is happening and not be obsessed with mistaken thinking.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

Having the great freedom of human birth,
Failure to practice virtue at this time,
Would be the height of deceit and foolishness.

Shantideva

The moment you shatter the chain of thinking, you are free from the three realms of samsara.

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

In actuality, thoughts are continually and instantly self-arising and self-liberated, leaving no trace.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

Just as a good planning is important in ordinary activities, discipline accompanied by mindfulness and joyful effort is important in practicing the dharma.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

When you practice with bodhicitta you will be able to reveal profound treasures never previously available to you.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

The practice of a true yogi is to recognize the state free of the three poisons and continuously remain undistracted.

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

May everything I do with my body, speech, and mind, become of real benefit to all parent sentient beings, at all times and in all situations.

Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa

Whatever forms exist,
Impermanent and transitory,
Are illuminated in contemplation
By the power of each mind.

Mipham Rinpoche

My view is as vast as the sky, yet my conduct is as refined as finely ground flour.

Guru Padmasambhava

Bring out joy and appreciation from your heart. This is not some strange thing that we are trying to add to our Buddhist practices.This very motivation is the practice.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

The cause of confusion and frustration in life
Is the virulent passion of the mind.
Distortion and dispersion, the causes of passion,
Must be replaced by incisive attentiveness.

Mipham Rinpoche

If we understand the causes and effects of ignorance and wisdom, we can work to remove confusion and bring out the inherent enlightened qualities.

The Khenpo Rinpoches

I hold the sword of vigilance at the gate of my mind.
When emotions threaten, I threaten them back.
Only when they relax their grip,
Do I relax mine.

Kadampa Masters of Old

The greatest of evils is to hold religious prejudice and to criticize other people without knowing their mind. So give up prejudice as if it were a poison.
