While the mind is poised in the state of bare awareness, there is no directing the mind. One is not looking within for anything; one is not looking without for anything. One is simply letting the mind rest in its own natural state. The empty, clear and unimpeded nature of mind can be experienced if ...

Oh, perhaps it’s simply a coincidence however in the last 24 hours the same phrase (more or less) “you die twice” came to “my” attention but in completely different contexts yet who is it that really “dies” eh ?

Ah, now, I suppose conventionally speaking “you” may have come across Spirituality / Buddhism / Dzogchen / Zen as a means of dispelling whatever it is that ails “you” or perhaps of becoming “Enlightened” eh ? 🧐 Indeed, it’s possible “you” have already glimpsed-your-true-nature and are seeking a deeper “understanding” of what “that” was eh ...

Ah, what follows below, is I’d say, some absolute gold-standard material concerning the Nature of Mind eh ? 🌟 A teaching on the nature of mind by the late Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche on The Hundred Verses of Advice by Padampa Sangye [1] The great pandit Shantarakshita, who was instrumental in transplanting Buddhism from India to ...

Ah, now, all it takes is to switch on the TV or pick up your smartphone & within seconds it's likely you'll feel "triggered" eh ? But what are such sensations & Who is Aware of all of them eh ? Must you react blindly as if there's no other "choice" possible eh ? #WhoAreYou 🧐 🙏

Ah, now, I'd say such a sentiment as pictured is no longer realistically viable eh ? Yet, I contend, what is possible is one's own Heart-Centered Peace wherein you sort of "Hold the World in a Loving Embrace" after discarding petty selfish egoistic desires eh ? #ItsAnInnerFreedom
