More quotes by Sakyong Mipham
The bones and tendons of the mind are mindfulness and awareness. Mindfulness is the mind’s strength, and awareness is its flexibility. Without these abilities, we cannot function. When we drink a glass of water, drive a car, or have a conversation, we are using mindfulness and awareness.

Shambhala existed in Tibet and has been continued over the years, and now it is in the West. At its core, it is very much dedicated to the basic theme of benefiting others.

Certain teachers have tremendous amounts of experience. They are articulate, and they give wonderful discourse. But at some point along the road, they themselves learned from and studied a book.
Sakyong Mipham
If you want to be miserable, think of yourself. If you want to be happy, think of others.

Meditation practice is relevant because in meditation our conceptual mind relaxes and we can feel who we are at heart.
Sakyong Mipham
The most outrageous thing we can do in this world is to accept what happens and fly with it.
Sakyong Mipham
The wise are balanced, and the foolish are extreme.
Sakyong Mipham
If you see life as an opportunity, or if you see helping others as an opportunity, then all of a sudden you become joyous. You want to go forward.

Many people think spirituality has nothing to do with success or accomplishing - that it's something you do with removal, with leaving the world.
Sakyong Mipham
When the mind is totally present, it is relaxed, nimble, and sensitive. It feels lighter and clearer. It notices everything, but it is not distracted by anything. It is the feeling of knowing exactly where you are and what you are doing.

The principles of Buddhism have become more commonplace, which is a good thing.

For me, language and how I use it are very important. I held back on doing a poetry book, walking the fine line between trying to be helpful and just putting more junk out there.
