There's no difference between what is seen and the mind that sees it.

If you don’t try to stop whatever is going on in your mind, but merely observe it, eventually you’ll 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.

Not recognizing natural mind is simply an example of the mind's unlimited capacity to create whatever it wants.

Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart.

Within our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.

It’s so easy to think that we’re the only ones who suffer, while other people are somehow immune to pain, as though they’d 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.

When we become fixed in our perceptions we lose our ability to fly.
