🌹🙏💎 ~ Flat tires are part of the journey ~ Chögyam Trungpa

There is a problem in thinking that you are supposed to be advancing in your practice all the time. You don’t have to constantly be on the road. If you have a flat tire, that is also part of the journey. Ambition makes you feel that

🌹🙏💎 ~ Putting all their energy into spiritual practice ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

When some great teachers of the past reflected on the rarity of human existence, they did not even feel like sleeping; they could not bear to waste a single moment. They put all their energy into spiritual practice.

"The circle is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and the eccentric in a single form and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms, it points most clearly to the fourth dimension."

If you want to have more problems in your life than there actually are, just make some assumptions.

Believe in some things that seem advantageous to believe in. Create some rules and conditions.

Form some ideas about yourself, others, and life. Imagine more, perceive less.

The present, seen without a thought, is the present, seen as it is.
The present, heard without a thought, is the present, heard as it is.
The present, felt without a thought, is the present, felt as it is.
What is a thought anyway?

On some gut level, below the thinking mind, we know there is more to our being than the masks that hide our true selves.
