This world can seem marvellously convincing until death collapses the illusion and evicts us from our hiding place. What will happen to us then if we have no clue of any deeper reality?

The whole of meditation practice can be essentialized into these 3 crucial points: Bring your mind home. Release. And relax!

Why exactly are we so frightened of death that we avoid looking at it altogether? Somewhere, deep down, we know we cannot avoid facing death forever. We know, in Milarepa's words: "This thing called 'corpse' we dread so much is living with us here and now."

There is no armor like perseverance.

Why, if we are as pragmatic as we claim, don't we begin to ask ourselves seriously: Where does our real future lie?

Just as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so the minds's own radiance is its thoughts and emotions.

Let the sky outside awake a sky inside your mind.
