‘The great beings see with their wisdom eye
All things like reflections of forms;
They do not become stuck In the mire of so-called objects.’
Arya Nagarjuna
Tibetan Buddhism
Morning meditation — Virtue is so feeble.
‘Virtue is so feeble;
Vice is so powerful and terrible! How can good ever triumph over evil
Without the resolve to awaken?’
Acharya Shantideva
Morning meditation — Just as a thunderbolt.
‘Just as a thunderbolt
Can light a dark cloudy night for an instant,
An awakened being can sometimes
Inspire people to do the right thing.’
Acharya Shantideva
Morning meditation — It is so hard to find the time and tools.
‘It is so hard to find the time and tools
I need To help those with whom I share this world.
If I don’t seize the chance now,
It may never arise again!’
Acharya Shantideva
Morning meditation — When you dream at night you see all sorts of different things.
‘When you dream at night you see all sorts of different things. Are those things seen with the eyes? You believe you have eyes in the dream, don’t you? You walk around and look all over, yet in reality your eyes are closed and you’re in bed.’
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Morning meditation — Just because one believes one has eyes.
‘Just because one believes one has eyes and can therefore see does not change the fact that what one is experiencing is basically mind experience.’
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Morning meditation — To those searching for ultimate reality.
‘To those searching for ultimate reality,
First one should say that everything exists;
Later when they understand the meaning
And are free of attachment, then teach the absence.’
Arya Nagarjuna
Morning meditation — Things cease due to utter destruction.
‘Things cease due to utter destruction, But not due to understanding their conditioned nature; To whom will this be evident? How can “destruction” be possible?’
Arya Nagarjuna
