That spark to search for truth is Buddha Nature right there
This life is a long dream. Not recognizing that we're dreaming, there's no way to imagine waking from that dream
View is like the eyes: you can see ultimate truth in the distance. Path is like the feet: you can walk to the destination
Sometimes the most effective method isn't the most comfortable one
Hatred is much more harmful to yourself than to any other person
When you are genuinely open, what happens? There's a sense of space and invitation, of really connecting with something beyond yourself
There’s a direct connection between selflessness and compassion: as one becomes more powerful, the other strengthens
We can have a vague idea about being 'free' but until we have a clear vision, determination & confidence, nothing really begins
When we get to the future that we were preparing for, it leads to yet another future. We never reap the fruits of our own constant obsessive preparation
There’s intellectual dharma…and then there’s the dharma that’s alive in the everyday movement of our thoughts & emotions
