‘The Buddhas are delighted when sentient beings are happy and distressed when they are hurt.’
Acharya Shantideva
Tibetan Buddhism
Morning meditation — Because there is no Origination.
‘Because there is no origination there is no duration and no destruction.’
Nagarjuna
I Don’t Believe in Samsara — If I Did…
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.
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.’
