Text Quotes
Love and nonattachment are the basis of true generosity  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) A beautiful country is a dream-like illusion. It is senseless to cling to it.

Remaining in the recognition of the absolute view, you should leave this life like an eagle soaring up into the blue sky  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Like a robe wears out over time and turns to rags, life wears out from day to day, from second to second  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Do not encumber your mind with useless thoughts. What good does it do to brood on the past or anticipate the future? Remain in the simplicity of the present moment  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) If one were truly aware of the value of human life, to waste it blithely on distractions and the pursuit of vulgar ambitions would be the height of confusion  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) On the day that you were born, you began to die. Do not waste a single moment more!  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) The towns and countryside that the traveller sees through a train window do not slow down the train, nor does the train affect them. Neither disturbs the other. This is how you should see the thoughts that pass through your mind when you meditate  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) If we allow our thoughts to arise and dissolve by themselves, they will pass through our mind as a bird flies through the sky, without leaving a trace  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Spending your time with true spiritual friends will fill you with love for all beings and help you to see how negative attachment and hatred are. Being with such friends, and following their example, will naturally imbue you with their good qualities, just as all the birds flying around a golden mountain are bathed in its golden radiance  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) When death finally comes you will welcome it like an old friend, being aware of how dreamlike and impermanent the pheneomenal world really is  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Obstacles can arise from good as well as bad circumstances, but they should never deter or overpower you. Be like the earth, which supports all living creatures indiscriminately, without distinguishing good from bad. The earth is simply there. Your practice should be strengthened by the difficult situations you encounter, just as a bonfire in a strong wind is not blown out, but blazes even brighter  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) When sunlight falls on a crystal, lights of all colors of the rainbow appear; yet they have no substance that you can grasp. Likewise, all thoughts in their infinite variety are utterly without substance  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) .. The past is only an unreliable memory held in the present. The future is only a projection of our present conceptions. The present itself vanishes as soon as we try to grasp it. So why bother with attempting to establish an illusion of solid ground?  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Day by day, be content with whatever you have and satisfied with whatever happens. Everything else will then fall naturally into place  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Life is fragile, like the dew hanging delicately on the grass, crystal drops that will be carried away on the first morning breeze  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Devotion is the essence of the path, and if we have in mind nothing but the guru and feel nothing but fervent devotion, whatever occurs is perceived as his blessing. If we simply practice with this constantly present devotion, this is prayer itself. When all thoughts are imbued with devotion to the guru, there is a natural confidence that this will take care of whatever may happen. All forms are the guru, all sounds are prayer, and all gross and subtle thoughts arise as devotion. Everything is spontaneously liberated in the absolute nature, like knots untied in the sky  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Never forget how swiftly this life will be over, like a flash of summer lightning or the wave of a hand. Now that you have the opportunity to practice dharma, do not waste a single moment on anything else  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) We live under threat from painful emotions: anger, desire, pride, jealousy and so on. Therefore we should always be ready to counter these with the appropriate antidote. True practitioners may be recognized by their unfailing mindfulness  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) Once you overcome the hatred within your mind, you will discover that in the world outside, there is no longer any such thing as even a single enemy  (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Quotes) 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 Quotes)
