Samsara - our conditioned existence in the perpetual cycle of habitual tendencies and nirvana - genuine freedom from such an existence- are nothing but different manifestations of a basic continuum. So this continuity of consciousness us always present. This is the meaning of tantra.
Dalai Lama
Image
Samsara is the mind turned outwardly, lost in its projections. Nirvana is the mind turned inwardly, recognizing its true nature.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Image
Samsara is the world appearance, the cycle of rebirth, the physically manifest universes and states of mind that you perceive through the medium of ego.
Frederick Lenz

The problem is that our inherent ignorance keeps us in samsara and unable to benefit ourselves and others on a really deep level.
Tenzin Palmo

Searching outside of you is Samsara (the world). Searching within you leads to Nirvana.

To go beyond samsara and nirvana, we will need the two wings of emptiness and compassion. From now on, let us use these two wings to fly fearlessly into the sky of the life to come.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The samsara is the sense of self. I've had past experiences. I'm aware of the moment. I will have future experiences.

In Tantric Buddhism, we believe that Samsara is Nirvana. That is to say that everything in the universe is part of us. And we also are part of everything in the universe.

Man must have results, real results, in his inner and outer life. I do not mean the results which modern people strive after in their attempts at self-development. These are not results, but only rearrangements of psychic material, a process the Buddhists call 'samsara' and which our Holy Bible calls 'dust'.

Rest in natural great peace, this exhausted mind, beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thought, like the relentless fury of the pounding waves in the infinite ocean of samsara.
Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche
Image
By renouncing samsara, we renounce our habitual grasping, unhappy minds. And by renouncing samsara, we embrace our potential for enlightenment.
Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
Image
The willingness to not bypass illusion is very important. We come to nirvana by way of samsara. We come to see the true nature of things by seeing through the illusory nature of things. We don't come to nirvana by avoiding samsara. We don't come to clarity by avoiding confusion.
Adyashanti
Image
The charnel ground is that great graveyard in which the complexities of samsara and nirvana lie buried.
Chogyam Trungpa
Image
According to Buddhist practice, there are three stages or steps. The initial stage is to reduce attachment towards life. The second stage is the elimination of desire and attachment to this samsara. Then in the third stage, self-cherishing is eliminated
Dalai Lama
Image
The things you see are real, but they are not a complete seeing - Samsara.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In tantra, samsara is viewed as the same thing as nirvana. Eating a hamburger is meditation.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The integral sage, the nondual sage, is here to show us otherwise. Known generally as Tantric, these sages insist on transcending life by living it. They insist on finding release by engagement, finding nirvana in the midst of samsara, finding total liberation by complete immersion.

Suffering also has its worth. Through sorrow, pride is driven out And pity felt for those who wander in samsara Evil is avoided, goodness seems delightful.
Shantideva
Image
The Buddha said that samsara by its nature is painful. He didn't say it was a joyride.
