"Compassion is not religious business, it is human business. It is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability. It is essential for human survival." - HH #dalailama pictured alongside one of his physicians a couple of years ago

The authentic Dharma is not in the monasteries, it is not in the books, and not in the material world, but within the mind. - Kyabje Chatral Rinpoche

Though the sun of devotion may rise in the mind, without the wind of diligence the clouds of karmic obscurations will not be blown away. - Dudjom Rinpoche

Today is Chökhor #Duchen, the day when the Buddha first taught—turned the Wheel of #Dharma. Due to this, many will read and reflect on the 12 Deeds of the #Buddha, and one common way of doing so is by reading the Praise of Twelve Deeds by #Nagarjuna.

"There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.' No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster." - HH #DalaiLama — #tragedy #difficulty #hope #wisdom #kindness #heart #compassion #bodhi

"There are, strictly speaking, no #enlightened people, there is only enlightened activity." - #SuzukiRoshi #Book: #Zen #Mind Beginners Mind

Since all the advances we have these days still cannot bring peace of mind, it is the appreciation of this which has given rise to a spontaneous interest in the precious teachings of the Buddha Dharma or the true nature of mind. #karmapa #16karmapa #kagyu

“If you know how to let go, everything you experience becomes the path. If you don’t know how to let go, even meditation becomes a chain.” - Kyabje #Dudjom Rinpoche

The teachings of the #Dharma have great power, but unless you practice them properly, that power will remain merely as a potential which is never expressed. - #DilgoKhyentseRinpoche

If u practice steadily, with joyful perseverance, ur mind will gradually become more stable, like a candle in a windless place. But if u practice sporadically, progress will be difficult, like trying to heat water by repeatedly removing it from the fire. #Kyabje #DilgoKhyentse #Rinpoche #consistency

In this 5min teaching, His Eminence #TaiSituRinpoche succinctly and clearly explains how enlightenment is not a result of #karma and is beyond permanence and #impermanence.

"The most mature practitioners are not necessarily the ones who have heard the highest levels of teaching. They are the ones who let the light of dharma truth shine through the most facets of their lives."- #chagdudtulkurinpoche #chagdud #nyingma #vajrayana #buddhism #tibetanbuddhism #dharma

Milk is permeated by butter, but if you don't churn it, it will not turn into butter. Even though you know that your own mind is Buddhahood, if you do not meditate, it will not become Buddhahood. Know this meaning and practice it!

And when we look, what is it that binds mind? Mind binds mind. Mind frees mind. - #khentrullodrothayerinpoche ( #mind #wisdom #khentrulrinpoche #nyingma #khentrullodrothaye #katogcholing #buddha #tibetanbuddhism #dharma )

Just knowing that attachment is emptiness is far from sufficient, we still have to attain our personal realization. This is akin to someone having read all about how to drive a car but has never gotten behind the wheel. He really still does not know how to drive. - #jigmephuntsokrinpoche #larunggar

Don’t boast about a few years or months of practice, but keep practicing until the very end of your life.
To practice for as long as you live is the conduct of the best type of person. - Rigzin #DudjomLingpa #nyingma #dudjom #dharma #dharmapractice #tibetanbuddhism

Others are not the cause of my suffering;
It is the affliction in my own mind.
Why should I be angry at others,
When they are mere instruments of my karma? - #Shantideva #mahayana #paramitas #lojong #ngondro #bodhisattva
