All living beings have experience of pleasure and pain, and we are among them. What makes human beings different is that we have a powerful intelligence and a much greater ability to achieve happiness and avoid suffering. Real happiness and friendship come not from money or even knowledge but warm-heartedness. ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Long before Ani Zangmo died, she told me that she wished that I would have the opportunity to experience a long and painful life. Somewhat surprised and shocked, I asked her why she would say such a thing, and she responded by reminding me that the only way to be able to walk in the footsteps of Bodhisattva is to be witness to suffering, to understand it as best one can, rest in it, feel how it arises and is experienced, and from that place, allow the deep wisdom that accompanies true compassion to unfold."

~  Lama Repa Dorje, Justin von Bujdoss

Never to waver is taught to be the actual body of meditation. Thus, whatever arises, the true meditator simply rests within the uncontrived freshness that lies at the essence of mental activity. Grant your blessing that there be freedom from the notion of something to meditate on.

The essential nature of mental activity is taught to be the dharmakaya. It is nothing whatsoever yet it manifests as anything whatsoever, appearing in unhindered play to the true meditator. Grant your blessing that the indivisibility of samsara and nirvana be realised.

- APPEARANCE-EMPTINESS AS ONE TASTE - (pt.1) . Son of the family, your mind, like the horn of a rabbit, has no basis, has no nature, has no occurrence, has no arising, has no staying, has no disappearance. Your own essence being uncompounded, it is not seen even by the All-Knowing One. This certain fact sits nicely in your heart, therefore please rest in the state of this lack of mind itself! Please rest in the state of lack of minding! Again, son of the family, whether your mind is female or male, it is just knowing, vividly apparent and comprehending various things; isn’t this amazing? . Therefore, no matter how things appear to you, rest in just this itself as it is. Rest in it relaxed. Rest in it nakedly. Son of the family, if you hold to the idea that there is something wrong with appearance and something good about emptiness or something wrong with emptiness and something good about appearance, that is childish: appearance itself is empty, emptiness itself is apparent, so you must see appearance-emptiness as one taste. . In short, you should stay in the flatness of not grasping at whatever dawns and frolic in the unreality of whatever appears. Everything falls apart into liberation! Agreeable in the non-duality of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa! Misty in the indefiniteness of rigpa! Vivid in coming and going without trace! Brilliant in the non-duality of confusion and liberation! Please nurture the time that you can stay in this, the absence of grasping at realism. .

Know that thoughts may be like figures drawn on water, on earth, or on stone. Among them, it’s best for those with disturbing emotions to be like the first; while those with wishes for the Dharma to be (like) the last.
