“If everything dies and changes, then what is really true?”
― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

“To meditate is to make a complete break with how we “normally” operate, for it is a state free of all cares and concerns, in which there is no competition, no desire to possess or grasp at anything, no intense and anxious struggle, and no hunger to achieve: an ambitionless state where there is neither acceptance nor rejection, neither hope nor fear, a state in which we slowly begin to release all those emotions and concepts that have imprisoned us into the space of natural simplicity.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

“At the heart of all religions is the certainty that there is a fundamental truth, and that this life is a sacred opportunity to evolve and realize it.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

“We may idealize freedom, but when it comes to our habits, we are completely enslaved.”
― Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
