More quotes by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
When you see your own desire to be happy, you can't avoid seeing the same desire in others.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
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

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
Being human means having power specifically, the power to accomplish whatever we want.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
The opportunity to experience yourself differently is always available.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Simply notice that you're aware. At any given moment, you can choose to follow the chain of thoughts, emotions, and sensations that reinforce a perception of yourself as vulnerable and limited, or to remember that your true nature is pure, unconditioned, and incapable of being harmed.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Within our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
When you transform your mind, everything you experience is transformed.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
It’s so easy to think that we’re the only ones who suffer, while other people are somehow immune to pain, as though they’d been born with some kind of special knowledge about being happy, that, through some cosmic accident, we never received. Thinking in this way, we make our own problems seem much bigger than they really are.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
The mind is the source of all experience, and by changing the direction of the mind, we can change the quality of everything we experience.
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
Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart. It's always with us. It always has been, and always will be. When it arises in us, we've simply learned to see how strong and safe we really are.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart.
