Day by day, be content with whatever you have and satisfied with whatever happens. Everything else will then fall naturally into place.
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 RinpocheMeditation could be said to be the Art of Simplicity: simply sitting, simply breathing and simply being.
Dilgo Khyentse RinpocheTo expect happiness without giving up negative action is like holding your hand in a fire and hoping not to be burned. Of course, no one actually wants to suffer, to be sick, to be cold or hungry - but as long as we continue to indulge in wrong doing we will never put an end to suffering. Likewise, we will never achieve happiness, except through positive deeds, words, and thoughts. Positive action is something we have to cultivate ourselves; it can be neither bought nor stolen, and no one ever stumbles on it just by chance.
Dilgo Khyentse RinpocheTo meet someone who really hurts you is to meet a rare and precious treasure. Hold that person in high esteem, and make full use of the opportunity to eradicate your defects and make progress on the path. If you cannot yet feel love and compassion for those who treat you badly, it is a sign that your mind has not been fully transformed and that you need to keep working on it with increased application.
Dilgo Khyentse RinpocheSpending your time with true spiritual friends will fill you with love for all beings and help you to see how negative attachment and hatred are. Being with such friends, and following their example, will naturally imbue you with their good qualities, just as all the birds flying around a golden mountain are bathed in its golden radiance.
