There are certain teachers who shouldn't be teachers.

The nature of the mind is completely incredible.

Wherever we are and whatever we're doing, we're either conscious, or we're not.

We don't want to go to heaven. We want to be reborn so that we can keep going and realize the dharma so we can benefit other beings, endlessly. It's a very different thing.

The Tibetans have many teachings on how to die, consciously, and how to remain in the clear light, and it works. You can see it working, and they can stay in that state for hours, days, or weeks.

To want not to want, you'll tie yourself in knots. So this is why the Tibetans always say, just relax the mind and open.

Of course, now as a woman you can do so much, without being necessarily a rinpoche.
