The masters say if you create an auspicious condition in your body and your environment then meditation and realization will automatically arise.

Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life.

This dying forces you to look into yourself. And in this, compassion is the only way. Love is the only way.

In the Buddhist approach, life and death are seen as one whole, where death is the beginning of another chapter of life. Death is the mirror in which the entire meaning of life is reflected.

We may idealize freedom, but when it comes to our habits, we are completely enslaved.

Quoting Dudjom Rinpoche on the buddha-nature: No words can describe it No example can point to it Samsara does not make it worse Nirvana does not make it better It has never been born It has never ceased It has never been liberated It has never been deluded It has never existed It has never been nonexistent It has no limits at all It does not fall into any kind of category

Let your heart go out in spontaneous and immeasurable compassion.
