More quotes by Sogyal Rinpoche
Theories are like patches on a coat, one day they just wear off.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Samsara is the mind turned outwardly, lost in its projections. Nirvana is the mind turned inwardly, recognizing its true nature.
Sogyal Rinpoche
What we have to learn, in both meditation and in life, is to be free of attachment to the good experiences, and free of aversion to the negative ones.
Sogyal Rinpoche
I can't say it strongly enough to integrate meditation in action is the whole ground and point and purpose of meditation
Sogyal Rinpoche
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. All of us share the same wish, and the same right, to seek happiness and avoid suffering. Even following a spiritual path, or the religious life, is a quest for happiness.
Sogyal Rinpoche
The future is very much in our hands--in our actions.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.
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
Let the sky outside awake a sky inside your mind.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing, life reveals just the opposite: that letting go is the real path to freedom.
Sogyal Rinpoche
...we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the buddha nature as our innermost essence. . . .
Sogyal Rinpoche
Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth
Sogyal Rinpoche
There is no armor like perseverance.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the omniscience of enlightenment: following an authentic spiritual master.
Sogyal Rinpoche
What should we do with the mind in meditation? Nothing. Just leave it, simply, as it is.
Sogyal Rinpoche
The key to finding a happy balance in modern lives is simplicity.
Sogyal Rinpoche
We may idealize freedom, but when it comes to our habits, we are completely enslaved.
Sogyal Rinpoche
In this complex world, the best way to survive is to be genuine.
Sogyal Rinpoche
What the world needs more than anything are Bodhisattvas of peace, lawyers, politicians, teachers working tirelessly for the enlightenment of themselves and others.
