More quotes by Sakyong Mipham
A lot of times people do spiritual practice just for themselves. I try to turn that a little bit. I try to make spiritual practice more a part of the community. I write about infusing people with compassion.

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

If you rise with a positive attitude - because everything is possible, everything is doable - if you have that level of confidence, you exude it. It actually inspires the people around you.

Every moment of our life is important.

If we are going to live in a society, there has to be an attitude where people really do care for others.

A lot of people do their practice. They meditate on compassion. Then they yell at people afterwards. That is not quite working. One of the things I try to emphasize is contemplative meditation - bringing your thought and intention into meditation.

What is amazing is how stuck people are in their own habits. It is really hard to get people out of their habits. But once they shift, it also is amazing how rapid the progress can be.

Whatever we do lays a seed in our deepest consciousness, and one day that seed will grow.

Our mind is always subject to being distracted by thoughts of what happened in the past and ideas of what could happen in the future, but the living experience is what is happening NOW.

The principles of Buddhism and Shambhala can be effective in helping the course of what is happening in the world.

You need to become more genuine to who you are. So, people pushing you can help take you to the level where you really understand the principles and enter them into action.

When I was going into one of my first meditation retreats, I asked my father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, for some advice. He said, How you act when you're alone affects the rest of your life. Even in solitude, the ruler engages in virtue.

There is a tendency sometimes within the Shambhala community to make it just about meditating and, so, less about compassion. Shambhala is based upon compassion, but a lot of people come in and say, I need to get more meditation. I need to do this for me, me, me. That's fine, but the view here is much more societal.
