More quotes by Sogyal Rinpoche
Our buddha nature is as good as any buddha’s buddha nature.
Sogyal Rinpoche
The spiritual journey is one of continuous learning and purification. When you know this, you become humble.
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
There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.
Sogyal Rinpoche
So often we want happiness, but the very way we pursue it is so clumsy and unskillful that it brings only more sorrow. Usually we assume we must grasp in order to have that something that will ensure our happiness. [...] Learning to live is learning to let go.
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
There is no armor like perseverance.
Sogyal Rinpoche
This dying forces you to look into yourself. And in this, compassion is the only way. Love is the only way.
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
The future is very much in our hands--in our actions.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the omniscience of enlightenment: following an authentic spiritual master.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Even though the meditator may leave the meditation, the meditation will not leave the meditator.
Sogyal Rinpoche
...we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the buddha nature as our innermost essence. . . .
Sogyal Rinpoche
Just as if you put your finger into water, it will get wet, and if you put it into fire, it will burn, so if you invest your mind in the wisdom mind of the Buddhas, it will transform into their wisdom nature.
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
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
Just as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so the minds's own radiance is its thoughts and emotions.
Sogyal Rinpoche
The most essential thing in life is to establish an unafraid, heartfelt communication with others.
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
Sitting like a mountain let your mind rise and fly and soar.
