Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Tibetan Buddhism
Morning meditation — Since awareness is timelessly present.
‘Since awareness is timelessly present, it does not come from anywhere or go anywhere.
It is not something newly created, nor something that ceases.
It is the Buddha — uncontrived, self-originated, and spontaneously perfect.’
Longchenpa
Morning meditation — How could I be unhappy about others being pleased?
‘How could I be unhappy about others being pleased?’
Acharya Shantideva
Morning meditation — Noticing a single shortcoming in ourselves.
‘Noticing a single shortcoming in ourselves is far more useful than seeing a 1,000 in someone else. We can correct our own.’
Dalai Lama

Morning meditation — I laugh to see what happens in samsara’s show.
‘I laugh to see what happens in samsara’s show.’
Words of my Perfect Teacher
Morning meditation — The Buddha nature is neither created nor does it change.
‘The Buddha nature is neither created nor does it change. It is free from arising and ceasing. It is naturally pure, yet obscured by adventitious stains.’
Uttaratantra
When we see events through the lens of a pure mind.
This pure awareness is not detached or indifferent.
