Looking at the world today, we might easily forget that the main purpose of our life - you could call it the heart of being human - is to be happy.

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
Sogyal Rinpoche
Samsara is the mind turned outwardly, lost in its projections. Nirvana is the mind turned inwardly, recognizing its true nature.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating - the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to - you have uncovered in yourself your own wise guide.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Let the sky outside awake a sky inside your mind.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Tomorrow or the next life - which comes first, we never know.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Just because we go through a difficult situation, it doesn’t mean that the future is predetermined. The future is very much in our hands, in our actions.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Sitting like a mountain let your mind rise and fly and soar.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth
