More quotes by Sogyal Rinpoche
Even though the meditator may leave the meditation, the meditation will not leave the meditator.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Meditation is bringing the mind home.
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
We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Even if they don't know that you are practicing for them, you are helping them and in turn they are helping you. They are actively helping you to develop your compassion, and so to purify and heal yourself. For me, all dying people are teachers, giving to all those who help them a chance to transform themselves through developing their compassion.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Don't you notice that there are particular moments when you are naturally inspired to introspection? Work with them gently, for these are the moments when you can go through a powerful experience, and your whole worldview can change quickly.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There is no armor like perseverance.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Western laziness consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so that there is no time at all to confront the real issues.
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
Why, if we are as pragmatic as we claim, don't we begin to ask ourselves seriously: Where does our real future lie?
Sogyal Rinpoche
Once an old woman came to Buddha and asked him how to meditate. He told her to remain aware of every movement of her hands as she drew the water from the well, knowing that if she did, she would soon find herself in that state of alert and spacious calm that is meditation.
Sogyal Rinpoche
When we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings.
Sogyal Rinpoche
True spirituality is to be aware that if we are interdependent with everything and everyone else, even our smallest, least significant thought, word and action have real consequences throughout the universe.
Sogyal Rinpoche
We may idealize freedom, but when it comes to our habits, we are completely enslaved.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Theories are like patches on a coat, one day they just wear off.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Our problems, all come from nothing they are all based on a misunderstanding that does not even exist.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the omniscience of enlightenment: following an authentic spiritual master.
Sogyal Rinpoche
I can't say it strongly enough to integrate meditation in action is the whole ground and point and purpose of meditation
