Status Updates From Das tibetische Buch vom Leb...

‘If you just let people talk, giving them your complete and compassionate attention, they will say things of a surprising spiritual depth, even when they think that they don’t have any spiritual beliefs. Everyone has their own life wisdom, and when you let a person talk you allow this life wisdom to emerge.’

‘Compassion is not true compassion unless it is active.’

‘For real communication to be established, you must make a determined effort to see the person in terms of his or her own life, character, background and history, and to accept the person unreservedly.’

‘Remember that your task is not to convert anyone to anything, but to help the person in front of you get in touch with his or her own strength, confidence, faith and spirituality, whatever that might be.’

‘When you leave each thing in its own state, then its shape doesn’t change, its color doesn’t fade, and its glow does not dissapear. Whatever appears is unstained by any grasping, so then all that you perceive arises as the naked wisdom of Rigpa, which is the indivisibility of luminosity and emptiness.’
