The best part of all is that no matter how long you practice, or what method you use, every technique of Buddhist meditation ultimately generates compassion.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Image
Meditation is actually a very simple exercise in resting in the natural state of your present mind, and allowing yourself to be simply and clearly present to whatever thoughts, sensations, or emotions occur.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Image
Not recognizing natural mind is simply an example of the mind's unlimited capacity to create whatever it wants.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Image
When we become fixed in our perceptions we lose our ability to fly.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Image
If we could see the whole truth of any situation, our only response would be one of compassion.
