The Tibetans are good at learning many skillful ways to show that everything we do becomes dharma practice, depending on which kind of approach we use.

Meditation is a way to take us to a deeper level of awareness.

When Tibetan lamas die they stay in a realization of clear light nature of the mind for several days or weeks.

The nature of the mind is completely incredible.

Ultimately there is light and love and intelligence in this universe. And we are it, we carry that within us, it’s not just something out there, it is within us and this is what we are trying to re-connect with, our original light and love and intelligence, which is who we are, so do not get so distracted by all this other stuff, you know, really remember what we are here on this planet for.

On a relative level where we live, we need to have a sense of identity, otherwise we'd fall apart, wouldn't we?

Western Tibetan Buddhists are always looking out there at the distant snow peaks and they lose the flowers along the path.
