Sogyal Rinpoche
When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen, in that gap, in between, isn't there a consciousness of the present moment fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair's breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness? Well, that's what naturally peaceful awareness is.
Sogyal Rinpoche

Sogyal Rinpoche
Sit, then, as if you were a mountain, with all the unshakeable, steadfast majesty of a mountain. A mountain is completely natural and at ease with itself, however strong the winds that try to bother it, however thick the dark clouds that swirl around its peak. Sitting like a mountain, let your mind rise and fly and soar
