Tibetan Buddhist Dharma quotes

[starry deer crocodile @Ogmin]

A meditative experience of clarity is a clear state of mind at rest, but dharmakaya is the unity of lucidity and awareness, free of any sense of being at rest.

~ Longchenpa

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Since the noise of dry talk
carries the danger of self-deception
while living, dying and in the bardo,
please bless me to be ever mindful!

Meditators get cheated by meditation.

Even your worst enemy may be able to destroy your body, but they have no power to throw you into hell. - Geshe Lhakdor

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Meditation then does not mean trying to get rid of some things and mental states and accomplish others, but just familiarizing oneself with and relaxing into this complete lack of reference points and discursiveness.

- Straight from the Heart
Translated by Karl Brunnhölzl

It is awareness, which is neither affected by sense objects nor fixated upon them. It cuts through sense objects and isn’t swept away by them while seeing the multiplicity of all things.

~ Sera Khandro

[buddhi @buddhistics]

With a certain degree of training, the eruption of a thought or emotion can make you remember to recognize and thereby to arrive in rigpa.

- Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche

[starry deer crocodile @Ogmin]

Just as all sunlight is considered the nature of the sun,
So all experience is the nature of luminous mind.

~ Longchenpa

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Realize that whatever arises is the display of dharmakaya,
The primordial nature, unbroken simplicity.
Without clinging, whatever arises is naturally freed.
In the great equal taste without rejecting or accepting,
Continue on.

– Shechen Gyaltsap Gyurme Pema Namgyal

Although my lama has gone to a pure land,
the golden drops of his instructions held by heart disciples
live on in lonesome and isolated practice sanctuaries.

~ Sera Khandro

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Take your stand on the ultimate practice of the Heart Essence—samsara and nirvana are the display of awareness. Without distraction, without meditation, in a state of natural relaxation, constantly remain in the pure, all-penetrating nakedness of ultimate reality.
Dudjom Rinpoche

Epilogue of mahāvajradhara Künga Zangpo's biography (1458-1532)

[buddhi @buddhistics]

The most subtle type of obscuration is to simply conceive of something—like simply thinking, “It is.”

Chokyi Nyima

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Just as the mirror doesn't cling to its reflections, the mind doesn't have to cling to its thoughts. When you understand this, you can be at peace with whatever arises in your mind.

– Padmasambhava

[buddhi @buddhistics]

[N]ondwelling in either existence or peace is the nature of phenomena.

The Fifth Shamarpa

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Don’t feel proud or inflated with self-conceit about some superficial virtue you may have. All the buddhas are not conceited, even though their omniscience and qualities are beyond measure!

– Padmasambhava

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Don’t think of anything in your mind, behold the dharma of the final leap.
The body is without pith, just like a bamboo cane.
Mind is like the center of space, beyond being an object of thinking.
Without discarding or placing, relax and leave it in its own state.

Tilopa

[buddhi @buddhistics]

The death of the ‘me project’ is the basis of the vajra world – rather than the collection of information and techniques which has become so popular amongst aspirants who follow the fashions of academia, religiosity, or esotericism.

…2/2

They are not nihilistically tenuous, fleeting, homogenised, intermittent, or interminably indefinite. The existential display of reality is nondual and reflects both emptiness and form—because emptiness and form cannot be divided, unless by the exigency of hallucination.

[buddhi @buddhistics]

Emptiness as form is the world as evanescent self-display—and beings are individuated displays within that display. These displays are not ultimately solid, permanent, separate, continuous, or defined – but neither are they vacuous.
