When I just rest
within empty lucidity,
the false cavern of all things of samsara and nirvana implodes,
and everything dawns as the ornamentation of ultimate reality.
Tibetan Buddhism
Morning meditation — The Teachings are Based on This.
‘The Buddha was totally awakened and saw the three times as clearly as if they were held in the palm of his own hand. The teachings are based on this immense clarity.’
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Morning meditation — Now, the Big Question is.
‘Now, the big question is: How do we develop good friends?’
The Dalai Lama
Morning meditation — Those for Whom Sunyatā is.
Nāgārjuna says ‘Sunyatā is the exhaustion of all views’ and adds ‘Those for whom Sunyatā is itself a theory are incurable.’
Nagarjuna
Morning meditation — Devoid of the Self and Other.
‘The body was like mist, so it was free from dualistic activity and there was recognition devoid of the self and other.
I thought: “It makes sense that all sentient beings can understand the meaning of the nature of mind like I have understood it.”’
Padmasambhava
Morning meditation — Don’t let your Mind get too Tense.
‘Don’t let your mind get too tense or too inwardly concentrated; let your senses be naturally at ease, balanced between tension and relaxation.’
Words of my Perfect Teacher
It is in the Nature of Emptiness. By Arya Nagarjuna
One’s mind is primordially unborn.
Morning meditation — Knowledge and Ignorance are Both.
‘Knowledge and ignorance are both untrue, nothing but dream and illusion. The nonduality of true and untrue, that’s the state of buddha.’
