Surya Das
“The heart is an organ of perception.”
Lama Surya Das, Words of Wisdom

Surya Das
“Breath by breath, let go of fear, expectation, anger, regret, cravings, frustration, fatigue. Let go of the need for approval. Let go of old judgments and opinions. Die to all that, and fly free. Soar in the freedom of desirelessness.

Let go. Let Be. See through everything and be free, complete, luminous, at home -- at ease.”
Lama Surya Das, Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World

Surya Das
“Other people can’t cause us to be impatient unless we let them do so. In other words, others don’t make us impatient. We make ourselves impatient, through our expectations and demands, fixated attachments and stuckness.”
Lama Surya Das

Surya Das
“Taking the decision-making process away from people disempowers them. It also makes them much less likely to buy into the decision, however right it may be. One’s own conscience remains the ultimate arbiter.”
Lama Surya Das

Surya Das
“Enlightenment is not about becoming divine. Instead it's about becoming more fully human. . . . It is the end of ignorance.”
Lama Surya Das, Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World
