It is said that if our intention is to help others-even if we are unable to follow it through-we will never have any regret. Regret is a result of trying to make "me" happy.

Even when we speak of selflessness, the mind goes to "me." We think, "I'm selfless," but everything is selfless.

Your life and your practice should not be separate. You bring your practice into experience. You bring it about.

To protect this earth is to protect the very spirit of life

What is really happening in meditation is that we are developing the ability to think when we want to, and to not think when we don’t want to.

When I was going into one of my first meditation retreats, I asked my father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, for some advice. He said, "How you act when you're alone affects the rest of your life." Even in solitude, the ruler engages in virtue.

The most outrageous thing we can do in this world is to accept what happens and fly with it.
