We're all buddhas. We just don't recognize it.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Any daily activity can be used as an opportunity for meditation.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
The Buddha said that all conscious beings possess an enlightened nature. Because of that, we have this natural purity, peacefulness and power. We can rest the mind naturally because we are already in possession of these qualities. If one can rest the mind naturally, that's the best meditation.

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
If everything were permanent, singular, or independent, nothing would change.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
If you don’t try to stop whatever is going on in your mind, but merely observe it, eventually you’ll begin to feel a tremendous sense of relaxation, a vast sense of openness within your mind - which is in fact your natural mind, the naturally unperturbed background against which various thoughts come and go.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Meditation is really quite simple. All we have to do is embrace each experience with awareness and open our hearts fully to the present moment. When we are completely at ease with our own being, the ripples of awareness naturally spread out in all directions, touching the lives of everyone we meet.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
If you're determined to think of yourself as limited, fearful, vulnerable, or scarred by past experience, know only that you have chosen to do so. The opportunity to experience yourself differently is always available.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
