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

We have to cultivate contentment with what we have. We really don't need much. When you know this, the mind settles down. Cultivate generosity. Delight in giving. Learn to live lightly. In this way, we can begin to transform what is negative into what is positive. This is how we start to grow up.

Sometimes people come and they have so much pain and confusion in their eyes... what to do? A few words is a little bit of balm but doesn't really solve the deep disease within.

To become effortless takes a lot of effort. It's good to compare it to learning an instrument or learning a sport.

It's important to lighten up a bit!

When I look back I feel very grateful.

The purpose of dharma is to help your mind to expand, to grow, to clarify. It should uphold us and create an inner sense of peace, joy, and clarity.
