To see the open quality of our neuroses, we must abandon all ambition, all hope. We have to surrender to reality as it is, without holding back in the slightest. Tantra imposes a perspective of total openness.
~ Chögyam Trungpa
Egohood is the state of mind in which you are either repelled or attracted to the phenomenal world. What you would like to see depends on your mentality, on what you think is desirable in order to maintain your “I am-ness,” your “me-ness.” ~ Chögyam Trungpa
The extent of your realization will be known when you encounter difficult circumstances. You will not know the extent of your realization when things go well. ~ Khenpo Munsel
Observe things as they are and don’t pay attention to other people. There are some people just like mad dogs barking at everything that moves, even barking when the wind stirs among the grass and leaves. ~ Huang Po
@Im_KarthikB Looking closely, the body can be seen as an object of consciousness, and therefore, like all objects in consciousness, it too is consciousness.
Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present, and cross over to the farther shore of existence. With mind wholly liberated, you shall come no more to birth and death. – Buddha
The entire world is in flames, the entire world is going up in smoke; the entire world is burning, the entire world is vibrating. But that which does not vibrate or burn, which is experienced by the noble ones, where death has no entry - in that my mind delights.
― Buddha
