To discover your real questions, simply take a time-out. Stop looking ahead of yourself at where you’re going or backward at where you’ve been. When you do stop, there’s a sense of going nowhere. There’s a sense of gap, which is a tremendous relief. You can simply breathe and be who you are.

It is all up to us. We are the ones who have to keep looking at our thoughts, looking for the nature of our mind. there is nobody else in control of our lives, our experiences, our freedom or our bondage.

Sometimes we are too polite with our suffering and allow it to dominate our life.

When we recognize that the seemingly object nature of reality is nothing different than the subject nature of mind, which is rigpa, it is called enlightenment.

We actually need intelligent doubt and skepticism; they protect us against mistaken views and propaganda.

The truth about who we really are, beyond all appearances, is knowledge worth seeking.

The true opponent in a debate on emptiness is your own ego.
