A beautiful country is a dream-like illusion. It is senseless to cling to it. Unless the inner forces of negative emotions are conquered, strife with outer enemies will never end.
Dilgo Khyentse RinpocheOn the day that you were born, you began to die. Do not waste a single moment more!
Dilgo Khyentse RinpocheOnce you overcome the hatred within your mind, you will discover that in the world outside, there is no longer any such thing as even a single enemy.
Dilgo Khyentse RinpocheEven if death were to fall upon you today like lightning, you must be ready to die without sadness and regret, without any residue of clinging for what is left behind. Remaining in the recognition of the absolute view, you should leave this life like an eagle soaring up into the blue sky.
