Why do some people, when they want to practice, keep coming against problems and difficulties, and obstacles - inner obstacles and outer obstacles? It's because of the lack of merit.
Tenzin PalmoThe world is full of incredible people who are embodiments of compassion. Some of them have a spiritual path; some of them don't.
Tenzin PalmoWhy are we sitting? Why are we practicing? Why are we doing anything? It's not so I can be happy. It's so I can embody the dharma in order to benefit other beings.
Tenzin PalmoTo be completely enlightened means that you're a Buddha.I don't speak of enlightenment.
Tenzin PalmoUltimately there is light and love and intelligence in this universe. And we are it, we carry that within us, itโs 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.
