We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice.
Sogyal RinpocheAll too often people come to meditation in the hope of extraordinary results, like visions, lights, or some supernatural miracle. When no such thing occurs, they feel extremely disappointed. But the real miracle of meditation is more ordinary and much more useful. . . .
Sogyal RinpocheWhat we have to learn, in both meditation and in life, is to be free of attachment to the good experiences, and free of aversion to the negative ones.
