“Devote the mind to confusion and we know only too well, if we´re honest, that it will become a dark master of confusion, adept in its addictions, subtle and perversely supple in its slaveries. Devote it in meditation to the task of freeing itself from illusion, and we will find that, with time, patience, discipline, and the right training, our mind will begin to unknot itself and know its essential bliss and clarity.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

“There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche

“when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche

“The act of meditation is being spacious.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche
