Sogyal Rinpoche Quotes

There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the omniscience of enlightenment: following an authentic spiritual master Picture Quote #1
This dying forces you to look into yourself. And in this, compassion is the only way. Love is the only way Picture Quote #1
It is compassion, then, that is the best protection; it is also, as the great masters of the past have always known, the source of all healing Picture Quote #1
What we have to learn, in both meditation and in life, is to be free of attachment to the good experiences, and free of aversion to the negative ones Picture Quote #1
We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice Picture Quote #1
Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing, life reveals just the opposite: that letting go is the real path to freedom Picture Quote #1

Why, if we are as pragmatic as we claim, don’t we begin to ask ourselves seriously: Where does our real future lie? Picture Quote #1
The spiritual journey is one of continuous learning and purification. When you know this, you become humble Picture Quote #1
Just as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so the minds’s own radiance is its thoughts and emotions Picture Quote #1
Even if they don’t know that you are practicing for them, you are helping them and in turn they are helping you. They are actively helping you to develop your compassion, and so to purify and heal yourself. For me, all dying people are teachers, giving to all those who help them a chance to transform themselves through developing their compassion Picture Quote #1
The masters say if you create an auspicious condition in your body and your environment then meditation and realization will automatically arise Picture Quote #1
When we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
What most of us need, almost more than anything, is the courage and humility really to ask for help, from the depths of our hearts: to ask for the compassion of the enlightened beings, to ask for purification and healing, to ask for the power to understand the meaning of our suffering and transform it; at a relative level to ask for the growth in our lives of clarity, peace, and discernment, and to ask for the realization of the absolute nature of mind that comes from merging with the deathless wisdom mind of the master Picture Quote #1
We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don’t know who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should identify with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find ourselves scattered everywhere, in all directions, leaving nobody at home Picture Quote #1
When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet risen, in that gap, in between, isn’t there a consciousness of the present moment;fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair’s breadth of a concept, a luminous, naked awareness? Well, that’s what naturally peaceful awareness is Picture Quote #1
Generally we waste our lives, distracted from our true selves, in endless activity. Meditation is the way to bring us back to ourselves, where we can really experience and taste our full being Picture Quote #1
Our lives are lived in intense and anxious struggle, in a swirl of speed and aggression, in competing, grasping, possessing and achieving, forever burdening ourselves with extraneous activities and preoccupations Picture Quote #1
In meditation take care not to impose anything on the mind, or to tax it. When you meditate there should be no effort to control, and no attempt to be peaceful. Don’t be overly solemn or feel that you are taking part in some special ritual; let go even of the idea that you are meditating. Let your body remain as it is, your breath as you find it, and remain in your natural condition of unchanging pure awareness Picture Quote #1

Devote the mind to confusion and we know only too well, if we´re honest, that it will become a dark master of confusion, adept in its addictions, subtle and perversely supple in its slaveries. Devote it in meditation to the task of freeing itself from illusion, and we will find that, with time, patience, discipline, and the right training, our mind will begin to unknot itself and know its essential bliss and clarity Picture Quote #1
Normally we do not like to think about death. We would rather think about life. Why reflect on death? When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life now... and come to face the truth of your self. Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected Picture Quote #1
Death is a vast mystery, but there are two things we can say about it: It is absolutely certain that we will die, and it is uncertain when or how we will die. The only surety we have, then, is this uncertainty about the hour of our death, which we seize on as the excuse to postpone facing death directly. We are like children who cover their eyes in a game of hide and seek and think that no one can see them Picture Quote #1
If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear Picture Quote #1
At every moment in our lives we need compassion, but what more urgent moment could there be than when we are dying? What more wonderful and consoling gift could you give to dying people than the knowledge that they are being prayed for, and that you are taking on their suffering and purifying their negative karma through your practice for them?
