Quotes from Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Simply let experience take place very freely, so that your open heart is suffused with the tenderness of true compassion.

Be kind to yourself as you proceed along this journey. This kindness, in itself, is a means of awakening the spark of love within you and helping others to discover that spark within themselves.

The point is to be free, not to be crazy.

True compassion is undirected & holds no conceptual focus. That kind of genuine, true compassion is only possible after realizing emptiness.

You don't have to say anything. You don't have to teach anything. You just have to be who you are: a bright flame shining in the darkness of despair, a shining example of a person able to cross bridges by opening your heart and mind.

Through recognizing and realizing the empty essence, instead of being selfish and self-centered, one feels very open and free

Whenever ego suffers from fear of death & your practice turns to seeing impermanence, ego settles down.

Your emotional understanding about the preciousness of your human birth comes through conscious, repetitive mind training.

We fail to see that recognizing, admitting, and clearly understanding the patterns we experience in our own lives can have a transformative effect on the way we function in the world and the way we relate to others.

Let yourself become that space that welcomes any experience without judgement.

This unconditional wakefulness is described in the Sanskrit term bodhicitta

True freedom comes about through confidence in liberating any & all thought states.

A human being is a part of a whole called by us the universe.

gewa significa hacer elecciones que aumenten nuestra fuerza emocional e intelectual, que iluminen nuestra potencial grandeza, que construyan nuestra confianza y que refuercen nuestra habilidad para ayudar a aquellos que lo necesiten.

REAL BUT NOT TRUE

The true bodhisattva spirit grows out of this personal sense of freedom. You discover that you don't feel so needy anymore. You don't crave another refueling - with shamatha or with other people's love and attention - because you know within yourself how to be free, how to be confident. With this sense of security and freedom, you begin to direct your attention to the needs of others. The compassion expands.

Let yourself become that space that welcomes any experience without judgement.
