Gelek Rimpoche Inspirational Quotes (5)

The ego prevents us from helping ourselves by presenting a false notion of what it really means to help ourselves.

The capability of human life is beyond our imagination. What counts is the human capacity to investigate and transform our own mind and the world around us in a powerful and positive direction.

That's the ego talking. But it's not the real you. You are a good and wonderful person. You are kind. You have a compassionate nature.

If we only practice compassion on the mind level, we run a great risk of our compassion being just talk. As we know, talk is cheap. To develop true compassion we have to put our money where our mouth is.
