More Quotes from Sogyal Rinpoche:
Devotion to the spiritual master becomes the purest, quickest, and simplest way to realize the nature of our mind and all things. As we progress in it, the process reveals itself as wonderfully interdependent We, from our side, try continually to generate devotion the devotion we arouse itself generates glimpses of the nature of mind, and these glimpses only enhance and deepen our devotion to the master who is inspiring us. So in the end devotion springs out of wisdom devotion and the living experience of the nature of mind becomes inseparable, and inspire one another.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.
