If you donโt try to stop whatever is going on in your mind, but merely observe it, eventually youโll begin to feel a tremendous sense of relaxation, a vast sense of openness within your mind - which is in fact your natural mind, the naturally unperturbed background against which various thoughts come and go.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheNot recognizing natural mind is simply an example of the mind's unlimited capacity to create whatever it wants.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheWithin our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.
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.
