No matter what happens in space, space can never be harmed or destroyed. Likewise, no matter what arises in the mind, no matter how violent or deluded it is, the nature of mind has always and will always be pure.

~ Chamtrul Rinpoche

If you want to achieve the state of ultimate peace and joy, then do not think that the cause and condition for this comes from the outside. That is not possible.

If you really want to realise true happiness and joy, then you must find the true cause and condition of your wish, which is from your heart.

It comes from one's own heart.

~ Chamtrul Rinpoche

[amokedas]

A king’s robe or an old blanket can keep you warm. A gold throne or the bare ground can be your seat. A grand palace or a mud hut can be your shelter. A jeweled plate or a wooden pot can hold your food. The external world does not destroy your inner peace but your attachment and aversion will.

“Se non fosse per le nuvole, vedresti nel cielo.

Se non fosse per la sporcizia, vedresti nel diamante.

Se non fosse per le onde, vedresti nell’acqua.

Allo stesso modo, se non fosse per le tue oscurazioni, vedresti nella natura della tua mente.”

— Chamtrul Rinpoche

One day, death will come, and it will be impossible to avoid. That is guaranteed. So do what you can while you are still alive, so that you will be able to face death with no regrets.

The best thing that you could do to prevent regrets, is to live the rest of your life infused with wisdom and compassion.

[mountain-sage]

We may see this world as countries, cities, towns, and people that are divided by lines on a map. But the truth is that this is one world that arose within space, and that will dissolve back into space. And that every being's body that has ever habited this world is actually made up of it, and will dissolve back into it. Nothing exists independently.

It is impossible to live in this world without affecting the environment and others around you.

Whatever arises from your body, speech and mind will affect things. And you alone are in charge of what kind of effect that you would like it to be. Do not underestimate the far-reaching effects of your actions. This brings you enormous responsibility.

Therefore, be very careful and compassionate with your body, speech and mind. As a stone dropped into water will cause a ripple to move outwards in all directions, continuing on long after that stone left the hand. Likewise, a single action can cause a ripple effect within the interconnectedness throughout this world and beyond, continuing on long after that action was carried out or forgotten.

So l urge you, for your own, and others' benefit, please look after this fragile world for the very short time that you are on it, and leave it for the next generation in a way that you would like to find it. And become a responsible samsaric traveller, wherever you are, while you are in samsara. Continue to do this, and your positive karma will support you in your Buddhist path to freedom.

When the wind blows the clouds disappear, and all of space is filled with the light of the sun. So too, through the power of dharma practice, our obscurations will disappear, revealing what has been there since beginningless time - buddha nature and all of its qualities.
