Sogyal RinpocheThe definition of mantra is "that which protects the mind." That which protects the mind from negativity, or that which protects you from your own mind, is called mantra.
Sogyal RinpocheOur problems, all come from nothing; they are all based on a misunderstanding that does not even exist.
Sogyal RinpocheLooking at the world today, we might easily forget that the main purpose of our life - you could call it the heart of being human - is to be happy. All of us share the same wish, and the same right, to seek happiness and avoid suffering. Even following a spiritual path, or the religious life, is a quest for happiness.
