Learning to live is learning to let go.
More Quotes from Sogyal Rinpoche:
While meditating I sit quietly and rest in the nature of mind I don't question or doubt whether I am in the 'correct' state or not. There is no effort, only rich understanding, wakefulness, and unshakable certainty. When I am in the nature of mind, the ordinary mind is no longer there. There is no need to sustain or confirm a sense of being I simply am.Sogyal Rinpoche
More and more, I have come to realize how thoughts and concepts are all that block us from always being ... in the absolute.... When the view is there, thoughts are seen for what they truly are fleeting and transparent, and only relative.... You do not cling to thoughts and emotions or reject them, but welcome them all within the vast embrace of Rigpa.
Sogyal Rinpoche
We are what we think. With our thoughts we make the world. All that we are will rise with our thoughts.
Sogyal Rinpoche
Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to. You have uncovered in yourself your own wise guide. Because he or she knows you through and through, since he or she is you, your guide can help you, with increasing clarity and humor, negotiate all the difficulties of your thoughts and emotions. The more often you listen to this wise guide, the more easily you will be able to change your negative moods yourself, see through them, and even laugh at them for the absurd dramas and ridiculous illusions that they are. The more you listen, the more guidance you will receive. If you follow the voice of your wise guide, and let the ego fall silent, you come to experience that presence of wisdom and joy and bliss that you really are.
Sogyal Rinpoche
There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the omniscience of enlightenment following an authentic spiritual master.
