Yongey Mingyur RinpocheAny attempt to capture the direct experience of the nature of mind in words is impossible. The best that can be said is that it is immeasurably peaceful and, once stabilized through repeated experience, virtually unshakable. It's an experience of absolute well-being that radiates through all physical, emotional and mental states-even those that might ordinarily be labeled as unpleasant.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheWhen you see your own desire to be happy, you can't avoid seeing the same desire in others.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheItโs so easy to think that weโre the only ones who suffer, while other people are somehow immune to pain, as though theyโd been born with some kind of special knowledge about being happy, that, through some cosmic accident, we never received. Thinking in this way, we make our own problems seem much bigger than they really are.
