All the wonders of life are already here. They’re calling you. If you can listen to them, you will be able to stop running. What you need, what we all need, is silence. Stop the noise in your mind in order for the wondrous sounds of life to be heard. Then you can begin to live your life authentically and deeply.
when it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this when there’s no one complaining there’ll be days like this when everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
when everyone is up front and they’re not playing tricks, yeah when you don’t have no freeloaders, out to get their kicks, yeah when it’s nobody’s business, the way that you want to live i just have to remember, there’ll be days like this
Profound and tranquil, free from complexity, Uncompounded luminous clarity, Beyond the mind of conceptual ideas; This is the depth of the mind of the Victorious Ones. In this there is not a thing to be removed, Nor anything that needs to be added. It is merely the immaculate Looking naturally at itself.
It is almost impossible to practice loving-kindness towards all living beings without addressing, in a meaningful way, the innumerable problems arising in our own lives. It is a contradiction, you see. It does not work. If our heart is tormented because we are not able to accept things the way they are, then it is impossible to open our heart. It is impossible to let go of all of our defenses and embrace others. Therefore we have to constantly practice and deepen our awareness. We have to remind ourselves to accept things as they are…even reciting slogans, phrases like “I shall accept the way things are.”
oh, my mama loves me, she loves me she gets down on her knees and hugs me yeah, she loves me like a rock she rocks me like the rock of ages she loves me
I, the snow lioness who stays in snowy solitudes, Have milk which is like the essential nectar. In the absence of golden cups, I would not pour it in an ordinary vessel.
then without a warning another winter storm comes raging through and the mercury’s fallin’ i’m left all alone just like spring time in alberta chills me to the bone
Sometimes we feel that one individual’s action is very insignificant. Then we think, of course, that effects should come from channeling or from a unifying movement. But the movement of the society, community or group of people means joining individuals. Society means a collection of individuals, so that initiative must come from individuals. Unless each individual develops a sense of responsibility, the whole community cannot move. So therefore, it is very essential that we should not feel that individual effort is meaningless – you should not feel that way. We should make an effort.
Surrender means surrendering who you are not, so that who you really are may emerge. You are not what you think, you are not what you believe, you are not what you like or dislike. Those are the adopted filters which speak through you.
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
riders on the storm riders on the storm into this house, we’re born into this world, we’re thrown like a dog without a bone an actor out on loan riders on the storm

What is the mind? It is a phenonmenon that is not body, not substantial, has no form, no shape, no colour, but, like a mirror, can clearly reflect objects.
