"When we look out at the ocean or gaze at the sky and the clouds, or even the rock wall of a mountain, it is difficult for our minds to form labels. What is it really that we are looking at? There is no real thing there--just color and shape. And when we stop attaching labels to what we see, a sense of quietness flows in to fill the gap, bringing us a step closer to the understanding if emptiness."

[..] Sherpas are careful about requesting divinations -- and [..] lamas often shroud their counsel in generalities and aphorisms. The truth, especially when presented in advance, can be too much for some people to accept graciously. [..] Again and again, people hope vainly to control events that have yet to occur, events that never seem to play out in the way they imagined.

"I wanted to read something to you from a text by .. scholar Jigme Lingpa, Treasury of Precious Qualities:
When the eagle soars up, high above the earth,
Its shadow for the while is nowhere to be seen;
Yet bird and shadow still are linked. So too our actions:
When conditions come together, their effects are clearly seen."
