The supreme path is not to fabricate anything. The supreme meditation is not to be distracted.

The essence of all phenomena is empty and clear like space. The nature of mind is awareness-emptiness like the sun and sky.

The difference between buddhas and sentient beings is that buddhas recognize their nature while sentient beings fail to recognize it.

The root of all mind is your own present pure awareness. Rest in that essence without seeking elsewhere.

My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra. My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantabhadri. I belong to the caste of non-duality of these two.

All that appears and exists, all of samsara and nirvana, has one ground, two paths, and two results. This is the magical display of awareness and unawareness.

Devotion is the head of meditation, as is often said. When you are inspired by some spiritual teacher, you can have a very strong connection with that person, and thereby the blessings can enter.

Though the view should be as vast as the sky, keep your conduct as fine as barley flour.

To see directly is to be free of hope and fear. Hope and fear are like a cloud before the sun.

The practitioner and practice are like fire and wood. The more you practice, the more you burn.

The master's introduction is direct recognition of one's own nature. Meditation is maintaining the continuity of this recognition.

The nature of mind is the unity of awareness and emptiness.

Do not mistake understanding for realization, and do not mistake realization for liberation.

Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.

The dharma is not outside of you. Looking for it elsewhere is like placing a Buddha on your head while searching for him everywhere else.

Recognize the emptiness of all phenomena, but do not become attached to emptiness itself.

When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the Tibetan people will be scattered like ants across the face of the earth.

The everyday practice is simply to develop complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions.

The nature of mind is like a mirror. It is not affected by whatever appears in it, yet it never fails to reflect everything perfectly.

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.
