True wisdom is free of the dramas of culture or religion and should bring us only a sense of peace and happiness.

Meditation is simply getting to know your mind.

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

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.

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

There is no emptiness without appearance, and there is no appearance without emptiness. That is what we call the interdependent nature.

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.
