When remaining in awareness itself, every thought movement, no matter what kind, is like a drawing in air.

Being aggressive, you can accomplish some things, but with gentleness, you can accomplish all things.

Ordinary people do not question the commonly accepted version of reality. They conform to the standard values of subduing enemies and cherishing friends and family. Materialism, ambition and mundane achievements are the worldly hallmarks of success. We experience the phenomenal world and our minds as solid and truly existent. Very few people doubt these assertions and question their solidity. Yet, the process of disbelief is the first step on the spiritual path.

True confidence comes from realizing the view.

The context of the general teachings is one of talking to a sentient being who is experiencing uninterrupted bewilderment – one thought or emotion after another like the surface of the ocean in turmoil, without any recognition of mind essence. This confusion is continuous, without almost any break, life after life.

There is no thing to see: you simply need to see that.

When remaining in awareness itself, every thought movement, no matter what kind, is like a drawing in air.
