Ignorance, 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.

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

All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.

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

Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them.

Being human means having power; specifically, the power to accomplish whatever we want.

Meditation is actually a very simple exercise in resting in the natural state of your present mind, and allowing yourself to be simply and clearly present to whatever thoughts, sensations, or emotions occur.
