Whenever ego suffers from fear of death & your practice turns to seeing impermanence, ego settles down.
Tsoknyi RinpocheWe believe deep down that we've lost something precious and are seeking it outside ourselves, never realizing that we are carrying it within us wherever we go.
Tsoknyi RinpocheWhen you first start out don't set yourself a lofty goal of sitting down to meditate for twenty minutes. Aim instead for ten minutes or even five minutes - utilizing those few moments when you find yourself willing or even desiring just to take a break from the daily grind to observe your mind rather than drifting off into daydreams.
