― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

“how hollow and futile life can be when it's founded on a false belief in continuity and permanence.”

“There is a famous saying: "If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear".”
― Sogyal Rinpoche

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
