Being human means having power; specifically, the power to accomplish whatever we want.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheAll that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheMeditation is really quite simple. All we have to do is embrace each experience with awareness and open our hearts fully to the present moment. When we are completely at ease with our own being, the ripples of awareness naturally spread out in all directions, touching the lives of everyone we meet.
Yongey Mingyur RinpocheIgnorance, vulnerability, fear, anger, and desire are expressions of the infinite potential of your buddha nature. There's nothing inherently wrong or right with making such choices. The fruit of Buddhist practice is simply the recognition that these and other mental afflictions are nothing more or less than choices available to us because our real nature is infinite in scope.
