The future is very much in our hands, in our actions.  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) ...we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the buddha nature as our innermost essence. . . .  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Each time the losses and deceptions of life teach us about impermanence, they bring us closer to the truth. When you fall from a great height, there is only one possible place to land: on the ground-the ground of truth. And if you have the understanding that comes from spiritual practice, then falling is in no way a disaster, but the discovery of an inner refuge  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The purpose of meditation is to awaken in us the sky-like nature of mind, and to introduce us to that which we really are, our unchanging pure awareness, which underlies the whole of life and death  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Sit, then, as if you were a mountain, with all the unshakeable, steadfast majesty of a mountain. A mountain is completely natural and at ease with itself, however strong the winds that try to bother it, however thick the dark clouds that swirl around its peak. Sitting like a mountain, let your mind rise and fly and soar  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The most essential thing in life is to establish an unafraid, heartfelt communication with others  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) In this complex world, the best way to survive is to be genuine  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Theories are like patches on a coat, one day they just wear off  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Everything can be used as an invitation to meditation  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Even though the meditator may leave the meditation, the meditation will not leave the meditator  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Our buddha nature is as good as any buddha’s buddha nature  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Learning to live is learning to let go  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) More important than finding the teacher is finding and following the truth of the teaching  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The future is very much in our hands-in our actions  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) We may idealize freedom, but when it comes to our habits, we are completely enslaved  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The key to finding a happy balance in modern life is simplicity  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Let your heart go out in spontaneous and immeasurable compassion  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Let the sky outside awake a sky inside your mind  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Sitting like a mountain let your mind rise and fly and soar  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The act of meditation is being spacious  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Meditation is bringing the mind home  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) ... we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the Buddha nature as our innermost essence  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) Without our familiar props, we are faced with just ourselves, a person we do not know, an unnerving stranger with whom we have been living all the time but we never really wanted to meet. Isn’t that why we have tried to fill every moment of time with noise and activity, however boring or trivial, to ensure that we are never left in silence with this stranger on our own?  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) To be a spiritual warrior means to develop a special kind of courage, one that is innately intelligent, gentle, and fearless. Spiritual warriors can still be frightened, but even so they are courageous enough to taste suffering, to relate clearly to their fundamental fear, and to draw out without evasion the lessons from difficulties  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift you can give yourself in this life. For it is only through meditation that you can undertake the journey to discover your true nature, and so find the stability and confidence you will need to live, and die, well; Meditation is the road to enlightenment  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes) The point is not how long you meditate; the point is whether the practice actually brings you to a certain state of mindfulness and presence, where you are a little open and able to connect with your heart essence. And five minutes of wakeful sitting practice is of far greater value than twenty minutes of dozing!  (Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes)
