你想要得到幸福快乐的日子,首先要懂得有一颗宁静的心。世间人在剎那生灭的,缘起无常法里面起心动念,把感官的刺激误认为是一种享受。佛陀说:所有相,皆是虚妄。我们把感官的刺激当作是一种享受,是错误的、是错觉的,感官是虚伪的证人,我们把错觉当作是我们的正觉。佛陀说:宁静来自内心,千万不要向外去追求,任何缘起法的东西,都是虚妄的,没有一件事情是实在的东西,愈追求,苦恼就愈多!

In any of the four times and ten directions enlightenment will not be found except in the mind, which is the fully enlightened state. Do not seek the Buddha in any other source. (Otherwise) even if the Buddha (himself) searches, it will not be found.

The true nature of beings is always buddha. Not realising that, they wander in endless samsara. For the boundless suffering of sentient beings, may unbearable compassion be conceived in our being.

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.

I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivaled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.

讲话时,心在嘴上;开门时,心在手上;走路时,心在脚上。这样就不会说错话,做错事,走错路。

The way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart.

— Buddha

Every appearance and every event are the mind’s miraculous display. In the spacious expanse, I see nothing to fear. It is just reflexive radiance of mind’s clear light, and nothing else. Hence there’s no reason to react. All activity is my adornment. Therefore, better to rest silently in meditative absorption.

–Yeshe Tsogyal

It is not the case that one would live the spiritual life by virtue of holding the view that the world is eternal. Nor is it the case that one would live the spiritual life by virtue of holding the view that the world is not eternal. Whether one holds the view that the world is eternal, or whether one holds the view that the world is not eternal, there is still birth, ageing, death, grief, despair, pain, and unhappiness – whose destruction here and now I declare.
