Large Sutra on Perfect Wisdom
Morning meditation — We see that our thoughts and emotions are impermanent.
‘We see that our thoughts and emotions are impermanent, that our sense of self is a construction, and that clinging leads to suffering. This insight allows us to let go of attachment and live with greater freedom.’
Everyday Buddhist
Morning meditation — These days, fame—good name or bad name—comes through the media.
‘These days, fame—good name or bad name—comes through the media. What happens if a person is alone in a remote place and were to shout out in an attempt to bring fame? Nothing would happen! If you shout, eventually an echo will come, but nothing else!’
Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — We see that our thoughts and emotions are impermanent.
‘We see that our thoughts and emotions are impermanent, that our sense of self is a construction, and that clinging leads to suffering.’
Everyday Buddhist
Morning meditation — Notice when you’re caught up in thought or emotional reactivity.
‘Notice when you’re caught up in thought or emotional reactivity. The more you do this, the more intuitive it becomes. You begin to trust the quiet knowing beneath the noise of the mind. You see the power of awareness.’
Everyday Buddhist
Morning meditation — Importantly, Buddhist practice is not about achieving a future state.
‘Importantly, Buddhist practice is not about achieving a future state of awakening, as though it were a distant goal. Awakening is already present within us — not as an idea, but as a capacity for direct knowing.’
Everyday Buddhist
Morning meditation — To enter beyond non-duality means to see that.
‘“To enter beyond non-duality means to see that ‘I’ and ‘not-I’ are not two,” Vimalakīrti declares, not with words but with a silence so potent it silences the assembled bodhisattvas.’
