Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive

Make your mind an ocean.

[lamayeshewisdomarchive]

We might wear robes, hold a mala, shave our head, show the form of a perfect Dharma practitioner on the surface—externally everybody can see that we’re a seeker of liberation—but with a mind clinging to this life we’re unable to engage in the actions of a Dharma practitioner, we never do anything of great meaning. No matter how much Dharma education we receive, instead of our mind becoming more subtle, more pliant, it becomes more rigid, like iron. We become more tough skinned.
