“Trample on anger with realization and it dissolves like a cloud in the sky; and as it dissolves, the notion of ‘enemy’ will vanish with it.”
~Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Everyone wants happiness,
but the true may to reach
perfect happiness is to bring happiness to others.
~ Patrul Rinpoche
Although we all have a fundamentally pure nature, it is not easy to get in touch with it. The gross way our mind originally functions drowns out this deeper, more subtle vibration to such an extent that we generally remain unaware of its existence. If we truly want to connect with this subtle essence, we need to quiet all distractions and loosen the hold our ordinary appearances and conceptions have on us.
~ Lama Thubten Yeshe, Introduction to Tantra
In the way that a gardener knows how to transform compost into flowers, we can learn the art of transforming anger, depression, and racial discrimination into love and understanding. This is the work of meditation. — Thich Nhat Hanh
Since the minds of others cannot be tamed
until one has tamed one’s own,
begin first by taming one’s own mind.
~ Lama Atisha
